I think ironically the most difficult audience is going to be other mums who've just given birth, Cassius. There would be those who didn't have the experience they expected or wanted or who would need to justify their own choices. I guess some are probably still trying to process everything. It probably is a bit confronting to habe another mum sitting there beaming about it all if you're in any way disappointed or traumatised. But they would have noticed the difference in you, even if they didn't acknowledge it.

I don't have a MG as such, so I'm only speculating, but I do see the odd person launch into all the reasons they couldn't have had a HB, or aren't going to have one, to which I just nod and smile.
