The government has pledged that all women will be able to choose a midwife assisted home birth by 2009. But what about those who decide to go one step further and give birth without any medical help whatsoever? These women are choosing ‘freebirth’ and there is now a growing on-line community of freebirthers sharing their opinions and experiences.
