Righto, stick a fork in me, I'm done 
Seriously, things went well. Filled out all the paperwork for homebirth, did all the support stuff (an A4 sheet to ensure I had considered all aspects and discussed etc so as to be informed of all options).
BP = 110/60
Urine - fine
Fundal = 38cms
Baby - ROL (was LOL last week) but is still able to flip over like a pancake whenever with very little discomfort to me so MW feels that baby isn't massive), not fully engaged though, but thats ok
Also she looked again at the scan results and said often tummy will measure big as babys take in a lot of fluid so expand their tums and of course then are scanned and appear huge. She doesn't think its accurate and to not put too much stock into it. Same with head reading. That is within normal guidelines and she is more worried about an overly large head than she is tummy.
And I got my homebirth kit Its sitting on the kitchen table. I have a folder of paperwork to read etc and a few things to buy for it all but woooooo
I'm to contact the labour ward at the hospital if I think I am in labour and they then contact the MW etc who will call me and come out as and when.
Have 2 weeks now till my 39 week MW appointment, after my next growth scan on 21 April. That will be fun I am sure
Going overdue is fine till 42+14 then homebirth is a no no alas. But of course can refuse hospital induction still even if I deliever there naturally after this. MW said I have options and if I don't wish to be induced I can be monitored regulaly to ensure LO and myself are fine. So am not worrying as I know I have the full 14 days to go over before its a no go with homebirth
So just a matter of waiting now
