Home birth

[xxbeckyxx]

Will find out later today if I'm allowed to have my home birth! I haven't got much hope tbh as low iron levels run in my family and mine went down even after tablets, but the idea of having a hospital birth has made me feel a bit detached from the whole 'labour' thing and I just feel a bit like I want it over with if I have to go in, whereas I was really looking forward to experiencing labour at home in my nice calm environment.
I know I could fight for a home birth even if they say it's not best, but I want full support really and obviously don't want to create risks just for the sake of being selfish.
It doesn't help that we live over an hour from the hospital

Oh fingers crossed for you! If u feel that strongly about it, put ur foot down. "it is your birth" and all that!

Good luck with that hun. I would love a home birth with my next baby. Hospital is not that bad though if it comes to that, i had a great experience. Xx
