"I think I'm capable of bringing my baby into the world in the way I feel is safest and most appropriate for my personal situation. Thanks for the concern, though."

HA!!

So after I talked with her last night, she called my mother. My MOTHER proceeded to advocate for me like crazy!!! I was so PROUD of her!!! Mommy has recently decided to begin studying to become a doula, and has all the quotes and stats fresh in her mind... I was so so so so proud.

I don't know numbers for homebirth infections but...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9818616/
from that mainstream article
— Infections contracted in hospitals are the fourth largest killer in the United States, causing as many deaths as AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined.
— One out of every 20 hospital patients gets an infection. That's 2 million Americans a year, and an estimated 103,000 of them die.

My response would be, and has been:

"Hey, I just bought 15 pounds of apples. Do you have a good apple pie recipe? I just LOVE apple pie, and I had an awesome pie at this little resutrant one time, but I haven't been able to re-do it myself. Aunt Judy makes a good apple pie........." You get the idea.

This is not just a change the subject thing. This is totally ignoring the question. The reason I would ignore her is because you can't convince her, and sometimes it is just easier on your spirit and emotions to make it clear that you are not going to engage in an argument.

Just yesterday I received a prayer request for the friend of a close friend of mine . This lady is in hospital for the last two weeks fighting antibiotic resistant staph infection she got when there delivering her baby.
So she has a brand new baby and is literally struggling for her life for weeks now, getting fevers, not getting better.


When I read it I said a prayer for her and thanked God that he led us to the decision of homebirthing. Just one more reason to be happy with our choice!!
