artemis, I can only suggest strongly that you do some antenatal as well through birth talk or go along to a few meetings. I went a few times & even though its a 45 minute drive from me I made it as part of my ante-natal classes. So that I could be healed in time for giving birth again

Also, there is an amazing group through Caboolture Hospital & they are showing the Ricki Lake doco there. Maybe phone the hospital & find out more info because it will help you prepare.
