[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, op. The thing is, they very likely wouldn’t have listened to you. A woman who plans a home birth is really not likely to change her plans based on her SIL’s opinion. Honestly, if you had spoken up before, they’d probably shut you out now that it’s gone sideways for fear of hearing “I told you so”. It wasn’t your place to speak up, and it’s highly unlikely the outcome would have been any different if you had. I’m sorry. [/quote] All of this. Look at the people responding crazily in these comments about how [i]delivering at home cannot possibly have been the problem[/i]! That's the mindset you're up against, and it's not amenable to common sense. If you had spoken up there's almost zero chance they would have changed their plans, but they'd resent the hell out of you right now for having been right and because they'd suspect you were thinking "I warned you." I'm really sorry for your new niece. [/quote]
