I am planning a homebirth, and am due in two weeks. Ds was born in the hospital - perfectly fine experience but I want to homebirth this time for various reasons.<br><br>
Most people around me are pretty supportive, and I have great midwives. But my dad and SIL are both really negative about it. My dad is mainly concerned safety-wise. All things 'female' are a genuine mystery to him, and I think they scare him! Plus, I'm his little girl, so he's just freaked out about safety issues. My SIL is totally mainstream about everything, never questions doctors, and thinks I'm just some insane, irresponsible nutcase for having a homebirth. Add to this my own (minor) 'what if' fears, and it's starting to make me feel nevous about my decision.<br><br>
Also, I tested positive for GBS, and I'm wondering if it's a sign that I shouldn't be at home. I guess I'm just starting to second guess everything and feel nervous and insecure. Cold feet maybe. I just hate feeling scared and nervous all of a sudden.
