Thank you ALL very, very much. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Krysalyss, I think maybe you hit the nail on the head. I'm VERY self conscious and I think that's really worrying me. Everyone has said that it's the last thing I'll be thinking of at the time so I guess I'm going to have to take everyone's word for it, having not been through it yet myself.

I agree with you all about having someone there who is going to stand up for what I want and not just let the dr's take over. Otherwise, I might as well have just booked into the normal part of the hospital and not worried about the FBC and that's not what I want, at all.

Kelly, I agree, it would be awful to be stuck with a midwife I didn't like. Didn't think of that - thank you!

Danniim, forgot about the picture taking, too! Glad you reminded me.

I think I had a "holy sh*t, what am I doing? I can't do this!" day yesterday. I freaked out, about everything. Then my little mind started working overtime, as it does, and well, you know how it is. It all ended in tears!

I'm very glad I posted this though because all your thoughts and comments have really made me feel better. Thank you again, very much.
