Hi just wondering if anyone has gone through a similar thing and how they coped withh it. My midwife team are really on board with a homebirth. They were the ones that bought the idea up at my booking visit and Mt husband has the view that if the NHS are okay with it them its safe and he knows its what I've always wanted. We told his family and they al agree with us that while I stay low risk a home birth is a great idea, even his sister who is a nurse are really supportive. However my sister had her first child a year age and the baby had the cord stuck round her hand and had to have ventouse delivery.because of this all my family including my parents have called me selfish and that I'm only thinking of myself. I'm still adamant that I want a homebirth but I never know what today to them. They won't accept my evidence that I present to them and its starting to put doubts in my mind that I don't want there. I know that a homebirth is what's best for me, my husband and my baby but his do I convince my family of that?
