Scooby - the difference is that you are armed with a lot of knowledge as to what will happen, and that is empowering! I often say that knowing the risks of something allows you to put into place measures to compensate for them. There are things you can implement, like skin to skin contact ASAP to establish BFing and bonding, natural third stage (if possible), so it doesn't all need to be taken completely out of your hands Knowledge is power, and you have that now.
