Fiona - I think you've got the right attitude! Be open and have a go. If you can go into labour with the mindset you have - you'll be fine at the end of it! It took me a long while (well, it felt like a long while!) after I had DD to hit that mindset (that so long as I gave it a red hot go I didn't need to have any regrets!).

Good luck with everything!
