Thinking about my children's welfare is /exactly/ what I'm doing by choosing homebirth. So many mothers are coerced into unnecessary C sections and other dangerous interventions at hospitals. Homebirth is a great way for the mother to actually be able to relax and birth safely. I choose homebirth because I'm being unselfish and thinking of the mother's and child's health

Yeah, you're right. Many hospitals encourage bad practices like gratuitous C-sections. (But then again many home birth proponents also encourage bad practices.)
I guess I'm saying that one should be less emotional at this point and more cautious and rational.
