I got my first 'you are brave' comment today (for choosing homebirth). i kind of just brushed it off, talked about positives of it, but gonna have a think about what i would say next time.

Earlier in the week when someone asked me why, i said 'cos i was assaulted in hospital last time, and prefer to stay home and be safe'. i was kinda proud of that, but i don't feel the need to share that info with everyone, it was more specific to the person i was talking to.

I wouls also like to put it out that there that at the moment i think you are all crazy for being sad you may not be giving birth again. I love the baby at the end, and i know my first birth wasn't that good (and i hope i change my mind) but currently i see birth just as something to go through to get the baby at the end.

(Actually now i write that out, i was excited before my DDs birth- maybe i will feel that excitement again)
