Who am I
I am a woman. I have been the wife to a wonderful man for over 11 years. I became a mother over 11 1/2 years ago and now am proud to have my seven children, one of whom is a beautiful angel in heaven. I use to be crunchy. Until my precious daughter died after a homebirth. I now am a strong anti-homebirth supporter. I also reach out to others who sadly suffer the loss of their infant. My life revolves around all of this. I think I'm a pretty awesome person, even when I'm being not so nice to the crazy crunchies.

yeah, i had a conversation with my husband last night about how i am not at all the person i used to be. one example was the fact, i told him, that really i am ok with just doing a planned C-section for the next baby (if God were to so bless me). the person i was before would have NEVER even entertained such a thought. so many of the phrases you here in homebirth circles are so ridiculous! i never even saw it- like "trust birth" trust birth??? birth has been killing mamas and babies since the beginning of time! it has ALWAYS been a risky buisness. i am so worried about my pregnant sister in law, who i having her third baby, at home in the country, about 45 minuted from any hospital- and the one she is closest too does not have a level 3 NICU, which is exactly what you need if you have to do a transfer! but she is so naive. everything will be FINE of course! even after she saw my dead daughter in a coffin a month ago she dosn't even second guess her own choices.
thank you for commenting on my blog
