Hello Ladies,

Thankyou so much for your supportive words.

I think i've been feeling this way as it takes so long to "convince" people (my family, friends, doctors, other health professionals etc) that homebirth is safe and that i've done my research and made the right decision, then when something goes wrong people are so quick to say "i told you so!!"... I do know that all of the unfortunate things that happened could have happened in the hospital but they would have been accepted in the hospital ITMS. People are so quick to blame the homebirth but they wouldn't think twice if these things happened in the hospital. It is so frustrating! I feel like i'm being looked at as an irresponsible person for choosing HB and for going back there AGAIN after all these things happened! But bully to them! I just had a big ol' chat with my MCHN (lovely, lovely lady!) and she nearly slapped me for doubting myself! So that was nice for her to be so supportive

Meow: We DID get our baby checked by a Chiro when he was 10 days old..... He didn't pick it up either! Neither did the MCHN at any of her visits up until the 6 week check. That's how well hidden it was! The Chiro could see that he was a little bit out on that side but didn't pick up the fracture.

I will definately doing my research into Vit K for this baby, although as my MCHN just said, If Archie's Vit K levels were low it would have shown up in the clotting factors blood test.... So maybe just another guilt trip on Dr and Pediatrician's behalf??

Thanks once again ladies, i really do appreciate your support xx
