Side Note

I was talking to Melissa this morning. For those of you who haven't met her, she's not only my bestie but she's very nice. I am not very nice. I mean, I am nice, but Melissa is nice all the time and I am only nice some of the time. Apparentely there were some hurt feelings by my home birth comments from yesterday. I stand by what I said, but maybe if you knew where I am was coming from? It is your right and choice to have your baby any way you want. This is my blog, so I get to say whatever I want on it. You don't have to agree with it or even read it. I would NEVER say these things to someone's face, and I would never launch an attack on them on a public venue like Facebook or Myspace. I am tired of being made to feel like less of a mom for having my baby in a hospital. Especially when most of those people doing the attacking have never even set foot in a hospital. They blindly assume that hospitals are cold, infectious places where you are immediately forced to have an epidural and a C-Section. Not true. Many of my friends and co-workers have had natural hospital births where they could walk, sit, or have a waterbirth. They could do whatever they wanted and still be safe. This is my heart: I truly just want all babies to be safe. I hope you can believe that in me. I just want them to be safe and I honestly believe it is safest in a hospital. Just my opinion.
