Emergencies: "But What if Something Happens?"

Probably the most common comments I get when I tell people I am going to have a home birth is, "Wow, you are brave!" and "What about if something happens?"  For the first comment...yes I am, but not for the same reasons they are implying.  I feel that they are saying that I am brave because I am willing to take the risk of no pain medication and the risk of having no doctor on site in case of an emergency.  I, on the contrary, feel that I am brave because I have faith that my body knows what to do and I am willing to "let go" and let it do its thing without interventions.  I prefer the word "courage" over "brave."
