Hi ladies

I'm wondering if you can help here. My friend was very nervous going into her induction (GD) and after a long labour there was a c/s. I've only SMSd her hubby as she doesn't want visitors in hossy (something I asked her before the induction/labour) and I'm hoping to visit her in the next couple of weeks when she's at home.

Her family will be there for her - again, this was organised prior to the labour, but I know that she really wanted a VB (to the extent she and her hubby were talking about a home birth for the next one) and was somewhat scared.

When I visit her, is there anything I should/shouldn't say? I've been talking to her during her pregnancy and have been upset at all the stupid women who have been scaring her with horror stories (why oh why?) but now I'm worried that my talk of "keep walking it will help" and "your body is made to do this" will have done more harm than good. I know that a healthy bub and mum is the best outcome from any birth, and that's why she would have gone for the c/s but still ...my birth was OK and more-or-less to plan.

Any ideas welcome
