had scan today and baby is about 7lb already!!

then had to see the consultant he doesn't what me to have a home birth now as baby is big,
but happy for me to go 12 days over regardless how big baby is
which has pissed me off

both me and oh where like what you don't want me to have a home birth in case baby gets stuck but your happy to let baby get bigger and have more chance off getting stuck
that just screams out emergency c section to me

thats just crazy, where is their logic!?

I would go for the home birth. From what I have heard before the scans to estimate the weight never end up being very accurate anyway.

I'm sure you must have come across it already but have a look at Home Birth Reference Site and AIMS - Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services Homepage
