Well, if you feel that hospitals are the only safe place to birth then you trust their decision making. If you trust their decision making then I don't understand why you don't believe them that a repeat section is the way to go?
It sounds like I'm being ornery, but really I'm not (well, not for me at least :LOL)
Personally I go for research over propaganda and everything I've read shows that most births are safer at home.
Good luck with your decision!
