Hi Guys

Thanks heaps for your replies. My experience sounds very trivial next to yours!! It is quite likely that i was having panic attacks after, and probably somewhat low in iron. Isnt it funny, some mothers are near death with giving birth, and still go back for seconds!!! I do have a girlfriend who almost died giving birth for her first, and she is preg with her 2nd now. Thinking positive does go a long way.

amym; you must have had a bad time, that would have been quite scary for you and your partner. IKWYM about some Midwives, i had a very sarcastic one, which is the last thing you need when you feel like dying!!

Webmeg: What did your panic attacks feel like? Did you get ringing in the ears?

Simone; You poor thing, thankfully i did not have to go thru that. OUCH, OUCH and MORE OUCH.

MBear; Your exp sounds terrible. Did you get ringing in your ears with low iron? I had morphine pumped into my chest area, as i didnt have it in the spinal tap, as i should have. Did you notice any side effects from the Morphine? I am hoping you wont be that unlucky to have to go thru that traumatic experience again. The precious little bubs really are all worth it in the end, I guess we get over the pain etc eventually. All the best and good luck for your birth.

Emma; Thanks, I hope all goes well for you when you have a little bub.
