I know exactly what you mean Jennifer. In our church, there are four other home-birth mums, and I have a few other friends who have done it, and it is great to sit and chat about it. It's surprising how much you find in common with women who have gone that route. I've generally found them to be intelligent, common sense, and down-to-earth kind of people. Several worked in the health care system, and know it's strengths and weaknesses, and that led them to the choice to have their babies at home.
