Oh cassius (hug) yep I've had it to. I try not to take it personally and remind myself that it could be because of any number of reasons, unhappy with their own experience guilt even (and they may know or sense it hb was wonderful!) Just not wanting to know about something so 'out there', some people still actually think its illegal to birth at home in Australia! Honestly if it were me I would probably have butted in and raved on for a bit about how absolutely beautiful and calming it was to be able to birth at home with all that comes with it (and all that DOESN'T). Then made a casual remark about how I loved the experience of birth in hospital also but they don't always compare. You know you can always come here to talk anything hb/birth but yes I know its not the same as having someone IRL listen with interest and care about your experience. I hope you're able to brag to someone soon, maybe next calmbirth meet?
