...to consider VBAC homebirth?

[Bibbo]

I am seriously considering this.... haven't discussed it with midwife or obstetrician yet though. expect they will tell me it's a ridiculous idea! I want a homebirth because I'm worried about unnecessary intervention, since I had a lot of unnecessary intervention when I had DD1 and I think that messed it up. Syntocinon drip whacked up high=foetal distress=em cs (have whinged on mumsnet about this before....)

I would be a lot more relaxed and in control at home, I think. I live about 20mins drive from hospital though.

Oh yes and I have a bicornuate uterus, as well as my previous cs, so no chance of me being classed as anything other than high risk.

DH originally thought I was mad, but is coming round to my way of thinking. Am I mad to consider this? I just want the best possible shot at a natural birth without all the horrible pain of dealing with the consequences of another cs....

Was same as you. induced with sintocin, didn't progress and EMCS. Decided to try VBAC for no 2 but was overdue again and went in for a planned CS. Changed my mind once there and attempted a VBAC by them breaking my waters but no luck. Sintocin again but ended in the theatre with forceps and venteuse. So no, glad I wasn't at home though not keen on all the intervention (both babies were back to back) and wondered if it would have gone differently if I had went into labour naturally.
