As a mother who suffered PTSD at the hands of the NHS and harrassment by Consultants over my choice to give birth at home with my other children, I support independent midwives wholeheartedly.

I also am aware of situations in the US where IM's are illegal and have had their homes raided in the same manner police would raid a drug dealers house and prosecuted. I do not wish to see this sort of lunacy here in the UK, which would no doubt follow making IM's illegal. (mother)
