Hi
I'm currently 41+4 and still very much want to try for a home birth if I go over 42 weeks.
The midwives don't even want to let me go past 42 weeks as its hospital policy to induce by then so have booked for me to come in at 42 weeks but if baby is ok I would much rather wait and monitor.
No complications in pregnancy and I'm low risk. I keep reading that it's my decision and no one can force me to be induced or refuse me a home birth but I'm feeling a lot of pressure and not very assertive or confrontational at moment.
Just wondered if anyone had any tips or experiences they could share on home birth after 42 weeks where midwives were reluctant?
At the moment my best idea for a plan is when in labour just to say I'm not happy to come into hospital and hope they don't argue too much.
I'd obviously go in if there was good reason but a blanket 42 week rule doesn't feel v logical or fair to me. Thanks
