i think the only reason i am classed as high risk is because they is a greater chance of bleeding so i had to have a needle in the back of my hand all the way through my last labour incase i would need a blood transfusion noone has said that i carnt have a water birth and my midwife said i could have a home birth if i wanted as i have never really had any major problems in my other labours i dont know why they would say u couldnt have a water birth like i said i only had a needle in the back of my hand
