I have no problem with hospitals at all and was quite happy to decide at the last minute about a MW-led unit or delivery suite birth, as both are in the same location in the hospital, just across the corridor from each other.
However, after being sent home at 1cm dilated then going back less than 2hrs later at 9cm, with my waters having gone at home, and being 'rushed' back to the delivery suite, and DD being born just 2hrs and 20mins later, I really don't want that stress again. I think the panic and the worry about getting back there slowed things down (as did the gas and air - I wasn't using it right and it really should have been just about the pushing at that point, but hey, you live and learn!). I really can't face the thought of having to argue about being admitted again this time, as I definitely WON'T go home, I'd rather walk the corridors, or the stress of wondering if the unit is full or whether they'll have time for a water birth etc etc especially as it could be an even quicker labour, so a home birth is really appealling.
I mean, the hospital is 10mins up the road, maybe 15mins from where we're moving to (although not sure I want DH to do the same high-speed pursuit type journey there again either!!) so we're not that far away, so can always change my mind. It just bothers me that people are actually being turned away from the hospital because they're full and a friend had her baby in the maternity 'triage' room, rather than a proper delivery room, because they were full and she refused to leave!!
I guess I'll worry about this closer to the time though... At least my parents, sister and in-laws are all really close to our new house, so it will take no time at all to take DD there and get her looked after when the time comes.
