Sagres - Yeah so true what your saying. And i guess the home/water thing does need a hell of alot of confidence thats for sure. And yes i also believe that alot of people out there who had a pleasant/bearable 1st ones, are probly not inclined to comment and read/join these thread too much. Its mainly thed negatives ones searching for a better alternative.
However i'm so glad that you had such a possitive experience with your 1st birth and it hasnt given you any concerns for the second, what a relief huh?
