I can remember worrying with my first one if I'd be a good mother or not. I would loose sleep over that, even cry because "what if" Once you hold the little one in your arms all the worries are worth it. We waited 14 yrs for our 2nd & I only worried about my epidural! That was a breeze too. It seems that some people will tell the most awful witch stories to you & every pregnacy is different. Don't let anyone's stories get to you becuase it may not even pertain to you! I think it depends on the person having the baby & their schedules how smoothly things go. I was very fortunate 2 times! Bless you & the baby. The best times of your life is about to begin!
