Hi Kell,
Just wanted to say I think your birth plan sounds fantastic.
Look all these people didn't help get the baby in there and they're not going to help get the baby out either so they should mind their own business!!
The thing is that surrounding labour and birth there are a lot of misconceptions and a lot of people have no idea what they are talking about, it is especially annoying to be told by women who have never been in labour how crazy you are to aim to go drug free!!
Throughout my pregnancy I had my sister in law comment and tell me I should have an epidural even though she has no experience.
You can do your best to inform them and try and change their perceptions but it is unlikely to work with everyone so either keep being annoyed at them or maybe do keep it a secret just say you have your plans but have decided to keep them private or something all=ong those ways.
that way if anything doesn't go exactly the way you have planned it because you change your mind at the time or for whatever reason you won't have to be annoyed later by these ppl think and or saying i told you so.
