Has anyone ever heard of this before? A friend of mine has been told her unborn baby has a polycystic kidney and everything else is fine but her consultatnt says she should not have a home birth in case there are problems to do with the kidney when the baby is born.
She has now been invited to attend a meeting at the hospital to dsicuss the dangers of a home birth, her mw and some hospital staff will also be there. I have never heard of meetings like this before, is this anything to worry about? Can she be forced to have a hospital birth? Is ther any need to have a hospital birth? She lives a long way from the nearest unit and it is her second abby so may come quickly making it difficult for her to get there in time anyway
