I wish I had known:

* more about birth. Inductions, pressures from the hospitals... Basically that I had read "The Thinking Womens Guide to a Better Birth" by Henci Goer, "Silent Knife" and "Active Birth"....
* more about newborns... that I started reading "Wonder Weeks" and reading the baby buddies groups of the first few months
* more about following my instincts. Both my babies were born around 42 weeks. Matilda was induced at 16 days post EDD, awful traumatic birth. Jovie was born 41 + 4 days spontaneous labour, fantastic birth.
* gone to an ABA pre-birth breastfeeding meeting
* trusted my instincts...did I say that

*hugs* goodluck!!!
