d,
It is so nice to hear about your homebirth especially here since I have such a fondness for this list. When I was last preg I was having a lot of trouble with the VBAC thing and I can't tell you why exactly but I always wanted to rant/discuss it here on mudcat. I felt like I'd be heard even though it was so way way off topic. But I never did, felt like it was just too out of place especially since I never post. I did find a lot of comfort here anyway though, it was something nice to do when I couldn't sleep; I kept up on current events without having to watch the boobtube, found loads of lyrics for singing to the new babe, made good use of several baby name threads, would you believe it was an endless source of pregnant gal entertainment and often quite on-topic in one way or another.

Anyway, I rarely find other homebirthers as I live in quite a conservative area birth-wise...so YAY!! nice to meet you. I can't say my homebirth attempt was painless, but quite managable and very enjoyable. I definitely look on the home part very fondly even though I ended up in the hosp (non-emergency, btw)and the doorprise, well, as a fellow recipient I'm sure you know, I'm completely enamored with the thing!
