Hi there! Are there any overweight mums out there who have been told they cant have a home birth? I had my son (only child so far) at hostpital and totally hated it for various reasons so am opting for a home birth but the doc thinks its best that due to my weight i have a hostpital birth! I am healthy enough and have normal blood pressure,so i dont understand! Why should i feel discriminated against,although i understand the safety for my baby and myself.Please help me! I am stressed enough as it is and i suffered a miscarriage in october so im worrying i will miscarry again im only 8 weeks.Thanks peeps,
