Wow didn't realise my experience or feeling a aren't valid because of my 'luckiness'.

No one is down playing the struggles others have, especially not on purpose nor should I have to be mindful about saying exactly what happened with my pg and birth in fear that some people who yes are more disadvantaged then I am due to the programs available to me might be offended.

Because IMO if programs like The one I used are extremely successful and seen in positive light more often the chances are that they will be expanded and become more available throughout Australia, which I believe would be a great outcome.


Every homebirth or attempt at one is fantastic and I feel that sometimes it seems to be a competition of who has to jump through the most/less hurdles. We should all be working together to promote homebirth and by being vocal with differences/hurdles or ease with all options is the way.
