My old boss told me I'd give birth naturally with size 10 shoes... fat chance. It's more down to the support than the shoes. True for all life. Even in shoes it's more down to the support than the shoe.

I was told off for measuring too small with the fundal height and sent for extra scans as I was clearly starving my baby - I wasn't putting on weight either so I must be on a diet.

I was told personal depression and a family history of depression and PND meant nothing, I'd be fine, don't worry, not even a comment in my notes.

I never freaked out about pain relief because I knew I wouldn't need it to give birth - I didn't get to do that so did need pain relief, much to the satisfaction and "I told you so" of the midwives.

And this is part of the reason I'm not ever going to have a baby or give birth.
