DD is 6 months old on Friday (eek! How?! Has FLOWN) and DP and I are starting to talk about TTC #2.

I had a very straight forwards pregnancy and a precipitate labour/delivery - MW said to consider a home birth for the next one as there would be no telling I'd get to the hospital in time (I was very lucky, I think, that I was there for induction anyway).

I love the sound of a home birth, however I was readmitted to hospital on day 5 with high BP. While in, it turned out DD tested positive for Strep B. So what I'm asking is - would my high BP and being a Strep B carrier put having a home birth out of the question?
