Apparently there's a birth centre/midwife led unit opening soon in Newcastle. I've been on the phone to my midwife today to arrange my booking appointment and she's suggested that rather than refusing admission to consultant led and having a home birth, I see if I can get them to agree to delivering me in the birth centre. But I'm high risk and I don't know whether they would take me. Midwife wasn't sure either as its a new unit that isn't even open yet. I must admit I like the idea as it means I can have a postive birth plan without pressure to go in, or stay at home.
Has anyone had any luck, or heard of anyone having any luck arranging a "high risk" birth like a VBAC in a birth centre?
