I fully understand that this is his chosen career, but he needs to get his priorities right. How many of us can say that our DH's would rather we do something risky to bring our child into the world to suit their work? I bet there wouldn't be any. Life is far too short and too precious to put work before something like this.

You know what the bitter irony is, if this was any other ordinary Mum who wanted to homebirth a baby at 43wks pg she'd be practically burned at the stake for even suggesting it, but here we have a woman who is choosing to give birth early, with a fully medicalised birth, where there are KNOWN risks and everyone is cool with that? Maybe society needs to have a rethink of its collective priorities.
