My other children are 11, 9, 5, 4, 2 and 17 months. I know that if my water should break while at home, I will be staying here for the delivery. I *am* sure of my dates and my fundal height was 40 at 36 weeks, so the baby's size is good. Normally I try to have as little intervention as possible and have had four deliveries without any pain meds, but in this case I am concerned about *where* I will be at birth. :)

Thank you and I hope you will not get hit with rotten tomatoes!
