Thanks so much everyone.

Today I am walking around with the most massive smile on my face. I got exactly what I wanted and I am so proud of myself, my body and my husband for the amazing birth & baby we have.

I was told when I was pregnant with DD2 that my BMI was too high, I was too risky due to the amount of babies I have had and numerous other issues which prevented me having the planned home birth I had been told I could have through a government funded home birth clinic from 7 weeks. I was denied at 37 weeks and told in no uncertain terms that I would haemorrage and I risked losing mine and/or my babies life. I was a complete mess and scared in the end to even birth in the hospital, even though in the end her birth was near perfect.
This time my body & mind didn't want me to go to the hospital and I am so glad I listened. There is something magical about bringing a new life into the world in the same bed it was made in. My husband is amazing, not only did he support & guide me through the labour & delivery, he did it with our DD2 on his lap!
