I don't think by any means people are going to change their mind to home birth because his partner did it, but I also think that no one who was already against home birth is going to be in any way moved to reconsider their position either.

My comment was in no way directed towards your comments, it was just something I wanted to say.

You seem awful defensive about it, though. Relax, we get your point.

Sorry, I think it's pregnancy hormones.

Is it just me or do we, pregnant women, get a little more passionate about our ideas/views on birth when we are soon to be experiencing it?

This just aired here last night and I ran to see what MDC had to say about it LOL

My DH shouted across the house, "get over here, Leno's talking with someone about homebirth!"

My favorite bits were about 1) the midwife didn't watch the clock and 2) he can't breastfeed though the baby tries

Celebrities who have homebirths...

Anyone know who the Governor of Louisiana is? Bobby Jindal?

He delivered his third child at home. It was an unplanned UC. His wife woke up in second stage of labor and he just put on his catcher's mitt and caught his own child.

Good for him! He is up for another test this weekend as Gustav arrives on his shores.

He was also on McCain's short list for VP.
