Hello all, sorry for the long that of this! I really need some advice and I'm willing to be told I'm being stupid. So I'm 37+5 with my third baby, planned home birth everything was going fine. I have always been told by my own midwife and the hospital to go in to get checked if you have any concerns with movement. Well yesterday baby was having a slow day, and i was getting all worked up and decided to go to hospital to get checked. This is the second time I've been in. I got a ctg and a scan, and everything was fine, baby is growing perfectly and ofcourse she starts moving as soon as I get hooked up to the ctg machine.
Anyway the doctor comes round to speak to me, and tells me since it's the second time I've been in they want to induce me I politely refused induction, as everything was ok with scans. She then tried to push induction and strongly advised against a homebirth.
My DH is backing me up saying it's my choice, and he will support me no matter what, but now I'm completely confused and doubting my own decisions. Am I being completely ridiculous to consider still having a home birth? Should they really of been pushing induction on me?
Thanks
