Hi All,

Another question for you all (okay a few questions): how did your DH feel about home birth when you first raised it? Did you try and convince him it was safe? does your DH think it is a joint decision where you birth?

My DH is convinced that homebirth is risky to our future babe. He is also very very squishish (i.e. fainted after giving blood, wouldn't watch me give me my IVF injections, wouldn't even watch the Dr doing the tranfer yesterday).

Any suggestions on how we can openly discussion our options????

At the moment I'm with "it's not safe". He was born premmie (well his mum chose to have him induced 2 weeks early as she was sick of being pregnant as she's had shingles and he was very very small and blue) and his most compelling argument, is that "if I had been born at home I would be dead"...

TIA for your help!
