    I found this too! People were DESPERATE to scare me during my last pregnancy - even people who hadn't given birth before
    Thank heavens for BB, otherwise I no doubt would've been scared out of my wits.
    I'm reading Janet Balaskas' New Active Birth atm- it is BRILLIANT. I highly recommend it for affirming your belief in your body's ability to birth. She also gives some suggestions for positioning during labour and birth, which I haven't gotten to yet but am looking forward to reading (and of course trying out when the time comes!). Keep believing in yourself, matey. But also, prepare yourself with lots of reading and support. You're going to be great!

    I've given birth twice now, and although it is painful, it is totally awesome at the same time!

    I can't WAIT to give birth again ...

    My body was built for this, I think it is a peak experience in womanhood.
