This is going under a cut, purely cos I don't know how long I am going to waffle on for, and because it's not the cheeriest of posts.. ( Here we go.. )
i don't really know much about home births since everyone i know (with the exception of my grandmother) was born in a hospital. i figure that she's just saying this for the legal reasons since everyone is so sue happy these days. and he's only a tiny bit bigger than he's supposed to be, it's not like he's a giant in there! *hugs* cheer up sweetheart! everything will fall into place.
start the way you want but know that going to the hospital is a very serious option, and a likely one. even if it is the last thing in the world you want to do, you need to be prepared to keep the baby safe if something happens (and i hope that it doesn't)! i was very adamantly against a c-section and i fought and fought and fought, but my baby was in distress to no fault of my own, and at that time i didn't care if someone cut my head off as long as he was okay!!
My brother was going to be such a huge baby that they induced his birth 3 weeks early and he was still 9 odd pounds. My sister was the second biggest baby in the hospital. I got trapped at the shoulders.
My mama has biiiiig babies!
I hope everything turns out the way you want it though.

if this dream falls apart i know it's going to hurt.
