I had a homebirth and still get raised eyebrows and "Well, i guess you were among the lucky ones" when i mention it. I tell people "I didn't base my decision on newspaper stories or other people's fears, i looked at peer-reviewed medical research. It seemed a more intelligent way to assess risk." and leave it at that. There are no papers proving how dangerous homebirth or midwifery-led care is, because it isn't. It might be cruel of me, but i'd rather they realised they are being irrational than let them go on thinking i am.
