I had the glucose test a few months back and I got a call to say I was borderline but nothing to worry about, just watch what I eat and they don't need to see me again. I recently moved to another county and saw a midwife who said need to check everything ok for a homebirth with consultants over here before she can book me for a home birth. Saw the consultant today who did a scan, baby isn't big, blood pressure was normal but he said I need to see another consultant next week as he is recommending I go to hospital for the birth. So now home birth is on hold until see consultant again which seems stupid to me.
Has anyone else had experiences similar? Can they refuse home birth? I just don't understand why if I'm only borderline and baby isn't big? And had no other complications or concerns. I'm getting worried as I'm 37 +2 which is exactly the same time my daughter arrived, so I'm worried won't even make it to the appointment and have to go to the hospital anyway.

They're just covering their own backs so if there is a problem it doesn't look like their fault.
