Thanks ladies for your responses. To be clear, I'm not at all second-guessing our decision to have our home birth, nor do I feel I need to convince anyone of our decision! I'm just feeling apprehensive in general, so close to the end...

I've got that too. It's pretty nuts, especially when it hits my ribs (and i have to leave back just to breathe) or so strong against my side that I am practically lifted up off the bed! It's also quite amazing to see because you can...
