SB, you've obviously never been a breastfeeding woman in a parents' room... (he he!)
If you want your reality to be that of the condemned, then so be it. I could choose to feel condemned for my homebirth, especially every time a negative or twisted story comes out in the media and family and friends (well-meaning) tell me about it and question my choice. I know why I chose what I did and I am comfortable enough with that to explain in response to genuine questions. That's all that matters to me. I want that to matter to all birthing women - to know why they are choosing their path. Most women I knew before I gave birth the first time did NOT know specifically why they chose hospital births, only that it was the assumed 'option' and they never questioned it.
