Thanks for the article, Hot1. I passed it on to my sister whose ob offered her one at 38 1/2 weeks.

Cricket, I already wonder if my birth was a fluke and I'll probably stress a bit more if there's a next time! This time I lived in a state of faith and blissful ignorance. Just keep reminding yourself not only that you can do it, but you have done it before. And remember that feeling of euphoria when you birth your baby and hold them for the first time. That feeling is worth all the labour! I am always a bit envious of women about to birth, that was the best feeling of my life.

Thinking of you, Em and Cricket. Not long now!
