Also, related to this question, I'm also wondering if there is anything anyone would recommend for setting the ball rolling towards a homebirth at the first MW appointment or booking appointment? (Beyond obviously, stating that I plan to have one, assuming there are no serious complications that come up). Would there be a particular team of midwives I could contact that would be better than others? I guess what I mean is I assumed I would call the maternity unit at my local hospital to start with, but when I was at my GP's a few weeks ago, I noticed a poster saying something like "Are you newly expecting? Contact our community midwife team to book your appointment". Would these be the midwives to contact (instead of the hospital team) if I would like a homebirth or are they basically all the same?
