Losing a twin - low or high risk pregnancy?

Hey guys!
So there's a birthing centre right next to my local hospital but to go there you need to have a low risk pregnancy/birth..
At around 10 weeks I lost one of my babies (identical twins). I'm now 25 weeks with the surviving baby.
I've been thinking about labour/birth and have decided I would love to have a water birth if everything goes as planned but am unsure whether or not I'll get into the birthing centre because of vts?
(I've still not spoken to mw)
((birthing pools not available in main hospital ))

Sorry for your early loss. I would imagine you could still go to the midwife unit unless you have other risk factors. If you think that for a lot of people they wouldn't know they had been pregnant with twins and then lost one because the 12 week scan would have been the first chance to see the pregnancy and it would have only shown one baby.
Hope you get your wish
