If your midwife is comfortable then I would continue with plans on homebirth. Personally don't have any experience though. I'm also planning a home water birth

It was super important to me for a home birth with water, I had a false diagnosis of a chrioamgioma which is high risk but after an extensive appt ay a specialist it is just a venous lake which almost all pregnancys have and it is harmless! It is bigger so the specialist as his job still says he still put recomendation of hospital. I feel confident at home though and terrified of the hospital so I hope my midwife supports it or ill do it at home without them!

It's your choice and the midwife should be able to advise you also. Just know the risk associated with venous lake and that in case of emergency how long will it take to get to hospital... nothing hopefully will happen and usually dont, but just be ready if you do bleed from it its lifetreatning for baby and he has to come.out very fast. Make sure to check the full extent of the risks and make the pros and cons for you to choose what's best so you feel confident with your decision. Also make sure your midwife still agrees to do homebirth. Hope it helps and I'm sorry I don't mean to scare or anything just for you to make an informed decision.
