Sorry Pops, just noticed what you asked earlier. If the midwife led unit is just that, then I don't think you will be accepted onto it. However, if they have a birthing pool at your hospital delivery suite then you will prob be able to get into it for pain relief and they may let you deliver in it. The only trouble with delivering in the water will be estimating blood loss so I don't know how keen they will be. I can't see why you couldn't use it during labour though, you have no indications for constant monitoring unless something else complicates your labour. Have a word with your midwife when you next go, every place differs with their ways of doing things x
