Hmmm..... I wonder if being Dutch has something to do with why I've never gotten much flak over my homebirths? The only comment I ever got really was "what about the mess!?" The Dutch are also known for being clean - LOL. There are a few other mums in my church who have homebirthed or are considering it.
About the types of women thing - I guess I'd be a 3. I had good experiences at the hospital, and I'm not a hippy. Although, I do babywear, and co-sleep for the first 6 weeks or so. But that's laziness, not hippy-ness. We tried cloth diapering, but it just didn't work out for us. So I don't think I make the hippy certification.
