Puppies... firstly a HUGE congrats on your pregnancy!!!

Secondly, I think so many people are glass half empty and I'm a glass half full person, so I found the same thing. I have a friend who is currently 22 wks pg and I've actually told her that people will feel the need to tell her all these bad/painful things but to ignore them!! I LOVED being pregnant and had the MOST amazing and wonderful birthing experience. I had my little man and felt I could go back straight away and do it all over again!! I did hypnobirthing and it was wonderful. I think that you will find a lot of ladies here who have had amazingly wonderful experiences.

I hope you have a fantastic pregnancy and birthing of your little bubba and try to ignore the lovely horror stories people think we need to hear! Oh and by the way, the honest truth with my birthing experience... I had no pain (so it does NOT have to be painful at all) and no drugs - I attribute it to hypnobirthing (or sometimes called calm birthing).
