Hi LImon,
This is a rather complex issue. Strictly medically, I see no connection between fertility problems and the birth itself. The issues here are more "political" and ethical. Test tube babies are considered תינוק יקר
so everyone gets very nervous during the pregnancy and birth. It's as if you are saying, well, all babies are important, but if something happens to this one, then you can't just go and make another one! So it all depends on what you think is the safest way of birthing. If you believe that hospital birth is safer than homebirth (even though the evidence does NOT support this) then you would want to birth in hospital. If you believe that homebirth with an experienced midwife is safer, or just as safe as hospital birth, then you will want to do a homebirth. Now there are other issues as well, for the individual midwife. She will have to decide if she is willing to walk the fine line here between a low-risk and high-risk birth politically for her. Meaning, if anything would happen and she might have to transfer the woman to hospital, does she want to have to defend herself and possibly risk her midwifery license if the "higher authorities" which are usually not happy anyway about homebirth at all for anyone, decide that it was wrong to allow her to birth at home. Obviously if all will go fine and the woman and baby will not need to transfer to hospital, then there will be no problems. So the woman may have trouble finding a midwife to attend to her at home because they may be afraid to antagonize the medical establishment. To make a long story short, this is a "grey area" and the political issues can outweigh the medical issues. .
