Awww Shannon!!! The younger ones do seem to take it all in their stride, no matter what you are talking about with birth and things like that, at Marisa's age especially, it's all matter-of-fact and just how it is for her. I always tell her that it's a good pain, some people can choose to have medicine to help with the pain, but some mummies don't like to have medicine so their baby wont have the medicine too. I explain the positives of the pain and what it means, I guess you probably do all this too but I am sure it will pass as she gets older. I always swore I would never have children when I was younger because my brothers and sister annoyed me so much, I was defiant and totally unmaternal until I started seriously dating. Then I saw how amazing it could be, and I educated myself about the downsides to drugs, caesars etc and have made a choice on what's best for me - so we all change I think. I don't think she really understands anything in depth, but is just taking what she sees on the surface.
