Many women who are approaching their due dates are being told that they will not be to birth in the way that they want to, because of the current situation with Covid-19. I’ve been hearing of canceled plans for homebirths, but if patients change to the birth centre they may find restrictions on the number of birth partners.

Here are some resources that may be of help if you want to try to get a homebirth signed off:

Birthrights

AIMS

Royal College of Obstetricians

You could consider getting an Independent Midwife
