Not fair, not cool. I hope that your vent has allowed you to let go of all those frustrations.

You sound as if you are doing everything right and have a great chance of having a wonderful birth at home. I really hope that those around you pushing the rules and highlighting those lines in the sand get a grip, take stock and listen to you a bit more.

All the best for the next week. Hope you find inner peace amongst all this and get the birth YOU want and deserve.

ETA: was thinking that maybe something like Chinese Medicine could work some magic with the platelets??
