Bec, it is so good to hear that women who conceive the natural way also tend to feel the same sorts of pressures. You have just reduced the "I am an infertile freak" feeling by many, many times.

Could it be something so simple as ALL women need to be more honest about how pregnancy, birth and parenting effects them so that LTers get a better idea that what they are feeling is NORMAL, even though it may be magnified somewhat?
