Confused
I have my first appointment with my midwife on Monday. She asked me in our telephone conversation where I wanted to have the baby. Am I correct in assuming that you can choose which hospital you can have your baby or does it have to be within a catchment area or did she mean at home or hospital?
Thanks for replies in advance. This baby thing is complicated ?

She probably meant that, though remember that you can change your mind even after you've booked in

But looks like it will be in your catchment area if there are a number of places available to you
Sorry I couldnt have been more help

Hilary there is a few hospitals in my area (or what I believe to be in my area but that might differ from what the NHS believes to be my area) so maybe she meant that.
The service seems variable on where you live and poor Tiger feet you don't even have a choice. I think there should be choice but it took me long enough to get a bloomin midwife in the first place because I live in the countryside and there is apparently no midwife in my catchment area!
