Thanks everyone. I wasn't at all self conscious of my noise last time and I am a little concerned that I'm going to make myself self conscious this time so it's really reassuring to be told to make noise! I have a feeling that some women make noise and some don't- it's not about how you are coping, or how "good" you are I guess it's just personal style.

I guess I'll see how I go. Last time I was reminded a couple of times to try and make deeper sounds and it kind of p!ssed me off to be honest! I wanted to just do what I wanted and not have anyone tell me otherwise.

I am a little concerned about my sooky little mama's boy who doesn't like loud noises! And the fact that we don't have close family here so if he has to go to someone else's house it's going to be a bit hard for him. I guess it's just a few hours in our lives and we'll deal with it. Thanks for the role playing idea- I can picture it now!
