Oh, the irony.

One of the biggest supporters I know of homebirth and attachment parenting . . . has a better-than-even chance of needing a c-section to deliver her second child. We're not talking inducement-to-section, here - we're talking placenta previa, where the choice is between a section and bleeding to death.

There's been a fallout, and I'm no longer welcome in her journal - but I wish her the best all the same.

wow. I hope she's okay. Stuff like that man, as ironic and "ha!" as it is, can really destroy a person - or change them depending on how they view challenges like that. Thanks for giving me something to think about while I do my to-do list today. : )

Interesting

Im a huge AP mom and home birth advocate but even when we took Bradley Classes (our instructor had her babe at home) she told us "placenta previa - get thee to hospital - kiss husband - have c section!!!!" She said it was one of the only reasons to be sectioned and she was dead serious

Ugh

How did her need for a section cause a fallout between you?
