We are away from the UK for 2 years. Our second baby will be born in Poland. I really want a home birth and have 2 midwifes to choose from: one is from the town we life, delivered only 2 babies (home births) during last 15 years (she is a community midwife, visits the mother and child after the birth, but started doing hb last year). She worked in a hospital before she became a community midwife.
The second midwife still works in a hospital, but she lives in another town, 3 hours away. (as you can see home birth is not very popular here , my gynaecologist thinks I'm insane )
I don't know if I should consider the first midwife at all, I'm not sure if she has enough "fresh" experience to do home birth. What do you think?
