Tell me again, why do I want a VBAC homebirth?

[LadyNoor]

I'm 35 weeks now, and I whilst I think I'm well prepared I have this nagging feeling, this negativity in my head saying that I'm being irresponsible for VBACing at home. I know it's not right, I know VBACing at hospital would be even more difficult without the right supports.

I've only told 3 of my closest friends about my HB plan, one is very supportive, one is neutral but supportive anyway, and one I'm sure she wished she could say 'woman, you must be crazy!' .. but at least she didn't... And a couple more comments about 'HB is stupid' (their words) even though they didn't know I'm planning for HB, but enough to make me feeling annoyed

I know they said that because they're ignorant, but I didn't bother to try and make them understand. My approach is 'whatever, it's your loss for not knowing the truths about HB'. Why waste my energy and getting myself all upset when basically I really need to focus on birth.

Maybe I've just had enough of pregnancy and since I'm still struggling to suppress the thrush and other 'normal' pregnancy related issues, i.e. lost appetite, unable to sleep, and coping with the heat... I'm just feeling drained... *sigh*

Sorry for ranting and rambling, I really had to let it out my chest
