Thanks girls for all of these comments about choice/birth options/nappy options/BF/formula options. It's encouraging just to hear that everyone does things differently. Of all my friends with kids (a lot), funnily enough the ones who've had c-sections seem the most chilled out as parents (that's probably just a massive coincidence though!). Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm saying here - just that obviously, it's the big picture that counts.

No one is going to hell! Or all of us are!

Maggie, on gender, did you find out previously? Let us know either way (if you find out or not).

AFM, saw OB today and he fairly cracked it about the scare-mongering at that class! I still feel a bit uncertain but we've gone through some details about the birth, and we'll bring in some dot points (reluctant to call it a "plan" ... you know, the best laid plans of mice and men ...). God knows what will happen. I'm pretty ... not confident. I do get teary now and then. I just have such a lack of confidence in myself. The thing is, I think I need to forget about it for a while, and just focus on enjoying this time. Bubs is kicking a fair bit. We heard the heart beat! All is good except permanent thrush which won't budge. I'm on cream the whole time and trying to avoid sweets/white flour.
Take care all,
WW
