Don't work too hard, Loulabelle! Sounds like you need a couple of days to settle in and rest now.

The funniest thing about that article is that I was talking to my m/w on Monday and she said she once received a bit of a grilling from someone who asked her where she would have her baby (she doesn't have any kids yet) and she gave them a strange look and said "at home, of course". She said it was like they thought she was enjoying torturing these stupid women who have their babies at home when there was no way she'd put herself though a home birth. Weird, but I couldn't help giggling thinking that no homebirth midwife would be booking themselves in for an elective c/s, when here is an ob choosing the homebirth option!

I went to my postnatal exercise class at the private hospital physio today and the physio taking it is the one I have known for years (took my prenatal aqua classes for DD1). She was so excited to hear about my HB experience as she says she spends a lot of time trying to educate women so they don't take the medicalised approach that's pushed by the hospital. She says she thinks even if she convinces one woman in her entire career then she'll be happy and asked me if it would be okay if she told the class about my fantastic birth experience.

I love the chance to talk about my birth and hearing someone else say they wish everyone could have a similar experience just makes my day!

Don't you feel like you're walking around with this piece of knowledge that it seems hardly anyone else has?
