Time for a beer?

Yes. It's one place where the staff (midwives) and bean counters agree. The professionals like the fact that home births have considerably fewer complications due to the reduced stress levels. It also gets them out and about. The accountants like the fact that there is less expensive intervention and no need to provide a bed, laundry or other facilities.

Too late. There are around 10 companies doing it already, except for providing the midwives, who are free on the NHS, who are very keen on providing them, as the outcomes are usually more favourable (looks good on the league tables) and cheaper (expensive hospital facilities not required).

Must be inconvenient when the Hewden driver makes a mistake and leaves a kango in the front porch, taking the birthing pool to the building site down the road ...

I suspect the building site would spend the afternoon taking a dip. The kango can be used on the husband's face for getting her pregnant.

Why a mistake, the Kango can be used for the cesarean and the pool can be used for mixing concrete in, everyones happy!
