I get the sense that everyone likes referring to her as a "home birth advocate" as it gives the feeling of "you told us to have home births and look what happened to you!". It's sort of a way of silencing home birth advocacy. I guess this helps hospital birthers justify their decision... but I think you only latch onto this if you felt some insecurity about your decision in the first place. If you're truly comfortable with a decision you don't need to bring others down to make your decision seem better.

My HBed son is 14 months old now so generally no-one asks about his birth anymore I remember getting to tell people and it is such a lovely experience to share Jennifer! I went to a LC at the RWH when he was a few weeks old... the appointment had been made 2 weeks in advance and we were mostly over the BFing troubles then so we ended up just talking about his birth. She loved hearing about a HB and wished there were more of them. It was so nice. I love times like when we moved and I took him to a new doctor and I got to state he was born at home. I also love that he was big so everyone thinks I'm amazing for HBing him too. Big ego boost Enjoy it Jen!
