Fruit Tingles, From what I understand of your posts you are saying that you are booked in to a hospital? Most hospitals tell you to labour at home for as long as you feel comfortable. If you feel things are moving faster than you would like, call an ambulance and follow their instructions. But don't force yourself to stay home when you are no longer comfortable.
Yes, I am booked into a hospital and plan on labouring at home for as long as I am comfortable before going to hospital. I would definately either call an ambulance or go to hospital if I felt I was not able to cope with the speed at what labour is progressing or the pain.

I just wanted to know what I would need to know should the situation of a unassisted birth were to occur and if I would need to call an ambulance and if I would then have to stay in hospital after the birth or if I would be discharged after being checked over or would that be up to me etc.
