My client this evening is having first baby at 43 and has been offered a home birth or water birth in midwife led unit. (midwifethinking.com)
The primary objective of this study was to compare intrapartum and early neonatal mortality and specific neonatal morbidities for births planned at home, in freestanding midwifery units, and in «alongside midwifery units» (midwife led units on a hospital site with an obstetric unit) with births planned in obstetric units, for babies of women judged to be at low risk of complications before the onset of labour.

I ended up in the midwife led unit at my nearest hospital being held down on my back to birth, which was not good considering I had SPD. (homesweethomebirth.com)
