Sorry what I didn't say was that I experianced all of this with my first pregnancy. And it can really get you down - but don't let them ruin your pregnancy. Fight. Esp if you feel that you are going to be fine for a homebirth!
I had gestational Diabetes with my first, but I had a real fight with one of my consultants.. as he was saying I shouldn't be having a homebirth - but when pushed, if was all down to policy, and not clinical evidence of how I was presenting. One of the problems with GD is that you can have a big baby, and that can cause the baby to get stuck in labour - but I wasn't measuing big (I had lots of scans to prove it), and my sugar levels was always ok. So I was like WHERE is the problem? Thankfully my midwifes were very supportive, and so was another lady consultant , who I asked to formally write a letter to that effect in my notes, for all to see.
Things like this can really feel like it is tainting your pregnancy, and is prob part of the resson a measly 3% of women even get to attempt a homebirth!
So, what are the reasons she feel that you might be high risk?
