Hi Ladies,
I am planning a home birth I am 39+2 as had a straightforward labour and delivery with my DD (although I was slightly anemic with her). I had a blood test yesterday as my previous one had shown my HB level to be 8.9 and yesterday I got a call from the MW to say it was now 9.4 which has increased and is really low so she doesnt advise me to have a home birth.
I have mixed views on this as I dont feel it is low enough to constitute going into hospital and as I had no blood loss, or even a tear with my DD I find the likelyhood of me bleeding alot very minimal. It would be nice to hear honest opinions from MW's other mums etc
Thank you in advance for your replies
