I was worrying about a home birth... And that's not generally the idea, so going to follow my gut instinct.
Thanks for all your advice.
I'm going natural.. but in a hospital!

There's nothing wrong with that hun, the best birth is the one you are most comfortable with, you need to feel confident and safe where ever you are. If that's not at home then you have nothing to apologize for

If u really want a natural birth but in a hospital make sure ur birthing partner knows exactly what u do and don't want, don't let people push u into things unless it's really needed and listen to ur body.

Hospitals aren't a bad lace to give birth it's just the lack of care in a lot and being rushed because they are busy or want to finish their shift

I am going to talk to my MW about a home birth this afternoon, until now we were thinking hospital but I feel like a birth at home would be much nicer, more relaxing for hubby, me and baby. We live about a 5 minute walk from the hospital so I feel that even if something went wrong or we changed our mind we could go to the hospital.

the main deciding factor for me was if i have another hospital birth my DH will have to leave us. i had a totally fine birthing experience in hospital, in fact it was great- but i felt horrible once my DH had essentially been told to feck off home. he'd just had a baby too- that was the one time we should all have been together and he wasn't there. also, im less likely to panic at home.

Exactly this. I had an amazing hospital birth but it would be lovely to hop into my own bed with my husband and toddler and relax like a family, rather than be watching the clock all night on a busy ward x
