Bon, thanks for Grace’s wonderful story. I hope (unrealistically) to have a similar labour to yours. I will just have to wait and see! After watching the birth video at the ante natal class on Saturday, yours is the first birth story that I completely understand. I feel confident I have a good idea of what childbirth really is, just a shame I can’t predict the feeling of contractions or the amount of pain. But from reading your story I have some idea of how I want it to be – whether it works out that way or not is another thing!

Grace is such a beautiful name too!

Jess
