I had a hospital birth after three home births and it was the best decision, most compassionate choice that I have ever made for myself.  

No advice, but I am so so sorry for everything you've been through.  If a caesarean birth is what makes you feel most at peace and gives you the space where you can be happy to welcome your newest little one, by all means go for...

Wow.  That's unnerving.  I'd bolt.  That is so unacceptably incompetent.  I'm so so sorry you're being treated this way.
