Jazahmum I know where you are coming from, and Glamour IKWYM about freaking yourself out (I have actually stopped reading certain parts of BB because I get scared - I figure I am aware that things can go wrong, but I don't want to know too many details until it is upon me because statisticallt things do usually work out ok. But as we all know that doesn't help when you are pregnant and worrying yourself silly about prem birth, cords, blood loss, etc.) And Sarges I know what you mean too.

I've decided to drop the whole subject with her but if she asks or it comes up in corversation to say I had a great time with both births for a whole variety of reasons - luck of biology (for both my sons and I), luck in who I chose as care providers, but a good dose of knowledge and confidence.
