I had a wonderful stress free pg (except m/s) with all of my girls. Once i knew I was pg I just carried on as if everything would be OK and it was. This time though I am freaking out, mainly about having a miscarriage, it is because I have been taking on everyone elses bad experiences and thinking that they will happen to me- to counter act this I have been only reading positive pregnancy and birth related issues. Anything negative I try to gloss over straight away. I realize this may be naive but it is my coping mechanism at the moment. If some one starts to vent at me I just say (respectfully of course) " I appreciate you trying to share, but I really can't talk about this atm, lets talk about something else" I have only had to do this once but it worked. Just to let you know all three of my births were great, I had no drugs, no stiches and great midwives. The best feeling in the world is when the baby first slides out after all your hard work, you can't beat it. Have a great pregnancy.
