HotI, after all the planning, stress and waiting etc, it is such an enormous high when everything goes right, when it all unfolds as you hoped or better and it is such an amazing feeling that it really does make you want to do it again. When DD1 was born I was soooo happy with how it had all gone, how little pain there was, how she just came out with basically no help from me - just my body doing everything so naturally. It made me want to do it again just to have the feeling of elation after a perfect birth. I was sad that I wouldn't have that again. Then #3 decided to join us. I didn't really get the rush this time - much longer and harder labour but it was still a great birth and it is really nice not to have the 'what ifs' and a list a mile long of things you would like to change (like I did with DS).
