~thanks for that. I did tell her that I don't believe her to be high risk, but 
her health insurance fund has stepped in and said that the only place she would 
be safe to birth is at a large tertiary hospital (lucky her). It is sad to see 
that a woman who should be excited and cherishing every moment of her pregnancy 
has been fed doubt and despair from ill informed professionals.~

That's interesting, how long have insurance companies been dictating terms of 
birth here?
