were the words of my MW when I just saw her for my booking in appointment - I asked her why not and she reeled off what I expected really - previous CS, ventouse delivery last time, my height (I'm short), etc etc etc. I told her actually I was. She then said she couldn't stop me asking for a homebirth, but that seen as though she'd advised against it the onus was on me..........my reponse?? "That's fine - I was expecting you to say that" LOL.
She's told me to come home and think about it.......which I will do, but the more I think about the more strongly I feel I want to go for a homebirth this time round.
Having said all that - she is a lovely MW (had her for DS2) and I'm pretty sure if I stick to my guns and book a homebirth I'll still get the support I need.
