Hi
I've had a growth scan today at 29+5 and been told that my baby weighs 4lb 5oz so is much bigger than they would expect for my dates. GTT was normal so it doesn't look like I've got GD.
I'm planning to have a homebirth but am a bit concerned that my baby will be enormous and there may be complications. Does anyone have any experience with this? If it's still safe, I want to go ahead with the hb as I really hate hospitals but obviously I don't want to put my baby at risk.
Also, if it is safe and I decide to go ahead, can the midwife refuse to let me have a hb?
I'd appreciate any advice. This is my first baby so I don't really know what to expect or what I'm 'allowed' to do!
Thanks,
ziggy xx
