People tried to scare me but probably out of some sense that I needed to be much more worried about it than I obviously was! I was too relaxed for many mothers' liking, as if they thought I was too naive and needed a dose of reality. I almost feel guilty telling the same people now that my first birth experience was great and that it was as 'zen' as I had half-joked it would be. How sad.
LOL.. I'm the same! Altho I wouldn't describe mine as 'zen' I'm almost tempted tho to tell other pregnant women that it really isn't that bad! LOL. I quite enjoyed it
