I'm pregnant for the first time at the grand age of 39. Assuming all goes to plan I'll be 40 when I give birth.
I have my booking in appointment tomorrow. Will they ask me about where I want give birth? I don't have the information to make that choice yet.
I would like a home birth but I think my age, IVF pregnany and being overweight will render that unlikely.
Looking through the notes I see that my local hospital has a midwife lead unit or a maternity ward.
What are the benefits of each option?
