They cant refuse a home birth but they will discourage the option due to history. I think the post from building was more of a get stuff around you just incase she cant get to hospital quick enough not to actually plan to give birth at home. Realisiticly all you can do when you are near to your date if they refuse to induce is to make sure you always have your phone on you, keep it charged and well in credit. Make sure a neighbour is aware of what is going on and can be on hand in an emergency to have the children for you and if everything does happen very quickly forget phoneing the labour ward call 999 and get an ambulance there straight away. Would your Mil be able to come and stay with you for a few days around your due date it may help to put your mind at rest if she is there with you.

That's exactly it- emergency back up plan. It may set your mind at reat a little to have a just- in- case plan, while still pushing for your induction.
