To still have a homebirth?

Sorry but posting here for traffic.

I'm 40+6 with a very low risk pregnancy. I'm under the care of the home birth team.

I came into hospital yesterday because the baby was very quiet. The trace was perfect and Dr discharged me as soon as she saw me. I was told to come back in today if movements were any different from normal.

They have been quiet again - sluggish and smaller but again trace is perfect.

Midwife has told me ahead of Dr coming that this automatically means they'll want to put me in for induction (not tonight) which means a home birth is off.

Does anyone know what my 'rights' are in this circumstance? Gut feeling is baby is quiet because it's really dropped low since friday and has less room to move.

Dr coming after eight o'clock. Any advice please?

Congratulations

I agree any birth is at least a bit grim

Congratulations. I was hoping you would come back and update us when baby arrived. I'm really pleased you got your home birth. :)

Flowers Congratulations!

Come off it, no HB is as grim as the postnatal ward and Goldfish bowl cribs.

Even if DD2 did forget there were supposed to be -gaps- between contractions.
