No water birth if you're stuck to a drip and monitor
I wasn't tested for my HB. It was offered to me and I declined after having two extensive discussions with my midwives - who both agreed with my stance and the discussions were to ensure I knew why I was declining.
Someone I know tested pos in her last pregnancy and she very much attributes her emerg c-s to the induction that ensued. She recently gave birth in a birth centre and refused the testing because she wanted her VBAC and understands that the cascade of interventions begins before an induction in a lot of cases (i.e. so called 'routine' prenatal testing).
Anyway, I didn't have it for my planned homebirth.
