A friend asked me today what the cost is for a homebirth with a midwife present? Apparently Mona Vale Hospital is closing down their maternity ward 3 weeks before her baby is due.

She has had 3 births with nothing except gas and she has fairly fast, uncomplicated deliveries.

She is trying to work out her options and asked me if I knew one in the Mona Vale area and how much it costs.

I really don't know

Can anyone help please
