Thanks Tobily!

I was wondering about the snip happy thing! This is my first time private and know of a few people who have been private and had episiotomies.

Yes, she seems pretty good and has also mentioned active labour and knowing my history, has only mentioned c-section as an option that is there (at one of my first visits, but not since) but otherwise encourages natural labour and knows that's what I would like. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Thans also for the advice on perenial massage. I think I will at least try it.

Oooh, the Big Baby site looks good!! I had trouble with BF too and there's a topic on that as well! Thanks so much
