Sick of the horror stories!

So I'm having a great pregnancy all around, but since I want to give
birth in a birth center instead of a hospital, people are using my
private choice to tell me the absolute worst birth horror stories I've
ever had to deal with in my life!

I heard some great horror stories. I think I was a bit too confident
though, and guessed that I would have an easy birth, based on my body shape
(great child-bearing hips!), and the fact that easy births seem to run in my
family. When people insisted on telling me what happened to them, I
pretended to listen politely (in fact most of it went in one ear and out the
other) but I sifted out the advice that I thought might actually be useful.

And actually, the worst stories I have heard are from those who had hospital
births! People who have had home births or birthing centre births seem to
be so much better.

Good luck with things! (BTW, I had a 6 1/2 hour labour, that included about
an hour of pushing. Imagine if I'd got the hang of it earlier!!)
