Oh good.. haha. I have a similar situation at work. A girl I work with constantly goes on about how easy it will be and I should to work up until I'm ready to pop because I "just sit down all day". I freaking hate sitting down all day. My feet go all fat from lack of moving/circulation, my pubic bone hurts because of the whole pelvis/relaxin thing and my ribs hurt because I have a babys butt in them!
I'd much rather spend the day having a waddle around in a nice garden somewhere

Teagz - don't discount the labour you went through with a pre-term birth hun. i lost one of my angels at (we think) something like 10-12 weeks (not sure due to no cycle). i had contractions for 12 hours to pass the fetus - and it hurt similarly to my induced labour. so the physical pain is still there - your cervix still has to open significantly.

AM - tell those that are saying you did it easy to take a hike. seriously! every person that has had a child has had hardship, both physical and emotional, to deal with. just because my journey has been different to yours, doesn't make either journey easier or harder - just different. there are parts of every journey that we will envy in others.

ignore their crap - and just do your thing. if you have an unsettled baby this time, so be it. you'll learn to work with that. if you have a long (or shorter) labour this time, you'll live with it. i think you and i are similar in that there is no point dwelling on the negatives - in the moment, they're damn hard to cope with, but when they're over, they're done, time to move on.
