I just wanted to let you know that I think I had a very stressful pregnancy.

Relationship problems, problems and falling outs with some family members, financial problems and I can even remember (and please dont judge me for saying this because I beat myself up everyday for even thinking it at the time) thinking to myself that I wished I wasnt pregnant during a really rough patch - and its not that I never wanted my baby - it was more that I worried that it was the worng time in our lives.

What I can tell you now is that I have such a strong bond with my little girl. We look into each others eyes and its like we both know how much love we have for one another. She is a very settled baby who is quite content but loves her cuddles.

I dont know about other peoples situations but all I can go on is mine. I also think what Briggsy's girls said about it being once they are born is very true and that they can recognise and be comforted by familiar smells and sounds of their parents.
