39+3 with dc2 and was sent for a growth scan this morning.
Baby looks healthy but a little on the small side, just under the 10th centile and fluid looks a bit low although not worryingly so.
Ive booked an induction for next Saturday (not tomorrow) but was planning a home birth.
I know I need to be flexible for the good of the baby and im more than happy to be rather than risk anything but home birth and induction are poles apart in my preferences and im a little apprehensive.
We compromised at Saturday (at his suggestion seeing the look on my face!) as he'd originally planned for it to be Tuesday (my due date).
I'm doubting myself now. Should I have compromised? Or should I have just gone with his suggestion and stuck with the due date if not before?
I was so set on getting my home birth at the time, now I'm not sure if ive done the right thing!
Ive got clinic on Wednesday for a check up and a sweep so I'm not just being left for a week to ponder my decision!
Any thoughts?
