Do it and send pictures 
I was a vegetarian before falling pregnant but my partner was really uncomfortable with me not eating meat during pregnancy so I agreed to put my morals aside for 9 months.. Ashamed to say that I've been craving all the awful bbq ribs/pulled pork type stuff! I saw that Blonde, I think some people are just quite short and perhaps don't put themselves across very well.. I think your home birth sounds like a beautiful idea and I'd 100% go for it myself if I wasn't so worried about tearing again..

Also, no harm in having a birth plan! I had more a "rough idea" than a detailed birth plan and yes, they can go out the window but for many things go precisely how they want and it's a good thing to focus on during labour when you're tempted by epidurals and the such!

I have to say that the prospect water birth is the only thing that have ever made me consider vaginal delivery (due to family history and fear). To me it seems so much easier and natural somehow.BlondeP, definitely! I had a pool birth last time and no pain relief - it was all the relief I needed! Not sure how anyone manages on dry land.
Laura, Ahh so exciting! Will be looking out for the results
But having too high BMI I'm not allowed.

Didn't realise BMI restricts you having a water birth. So long as I can even dip my toes in one il be happy haha. But after reading more and more about this low papp a hormone I am worried that baby might be here a lot sooner than I hope and the last thing I have wanted is a prem baby, I can't imagine how emotionally challenging it would Be! xxxxx

I think it's up to each unit. Here the rule is if you have a BMI over 35,you can't have it as you're considered to fat for them to get you out of the water if needed. Can you tell I'm a bit offended by this? Lol, I mean at least it should be based on actual weight. I'm really short (160 cm), so BMI is weird for me. At 93 kg, I don't think I'm too heavy to be able to get out of a pool. :-DDidn't realise BMI restricts you having a water birth. So long as I can even dip my toes in one il be happy haha.

Thanks guys! Everything was great with them, and poor OH literally got off the plane, came all the way to where I live, quick shower and out the door to the scan. The sonographer made us a DVD, which was a nice surprise, and we got to see them in 4D. They were cuddled up and one was sucking her finger, which was really cute. Apparently the placenta's position is cushioning me, so it'll take a bit longer before I feel movement. I'm fine with that though, as it means putting off getting battered all day and night!
Who is finding out next? We need more boys to tip the balance back!

Whiny post, sorry:
I had a horrendous migraine today (Loss of vision, numb hand/arm/mouth, couldn't talk or type properly, horrible headache and then grogginess that I know will last a few days..) I haven't had one for 6 years...I was always worried I'd have one last pregnancy as I know they can pop up again in pregnancy but thankfully didn't, now I'm so paranoid this is going to be a regular thing..soooo hoping it's just a one off
