Thanks Nurse Dan & Nell - your experiance have really helped!
I really belive that it also comes down to how you are feeling and your attitude - I am really looking fwd to my birth as I get to meet my bub! I am calm and I know how I want it to go - even if it doesn go according to plan I know its going to be a good birth!

Thanks Beatrix - you have had 3 wonderful births by the sound of it!!

Thanks so much to eveyone who has taken the time to comment - I cant wait to be writing my birth announcment!!

Love
Kate
