I am not trying to start a flame war or anything, but in my experience I
have found that most of the mothers on our particular WIC program
think of home birth as something that happens by accident, and that
mother and baby will then be transported to the hospital. A lot
of the mothers aren't aware of alternatives to the standard
hospital birth, so it's always unusual when one of our
participants chooses a different way of birthing. This mom came
to the breastfeeding class on Friday and wowed the other women with her
story.  I'm hoping to train her as a peer counselor.
