Hi Nikkita and welcome to BB. congratulations on your new pg!
1) don't feel in the least embarrassed about going to a public hospital. I did too, even though I have private cover, because I needed the high risk care.
2) I'm sorry about other people's reactions. I have been hurt too by this. Just try to remember that these are people who care about you and hope never to see you in pain again. That is really what they are trying to say.
All the best.
