You poor thing, i would choose a 'normal' birth over a c/s any day, it's by no means the easy option!
Were lucky in our MG we have quite a great bunch of girls and a couple had emergency c/s and we all agree they had it much worse off than us!
We all deal with pain and labour in a different way, just because you go without pain relief or because you choose a c/s etc doesn't mean it was EASY or even an EASY choice.

I am trying to ignore but finding it VERY difficult especially from SIL and her wanting us to have a horrid child, it's really getting on my nerves.
I think it all comes down to your parenting, if i am relaxed and calm about it then hopefully my baby will be the same (chances are i wont get lucky twice though ), i can only do my best and it's all in my perception of my baby!

Am i doing a good job of fooling myself yet?
