Hello, I have been reading this site for a while now (since I was 12 weeks!) and finally have had the chance to put my details on. I've had a busy few months, my husband and I quit our jobs, moved to Scotland and started new jobs! I haven't had a lot of time to think much about being pregnant but I really am enjoying it and am now ready to start concentrating on the baby. We don't know what we are having yet (it's our first) so it will be a big surprise in June. We conceived natuarally after trying for a year and finding out I was having problems ovulating so we were expecting to have to go through a big ordeal... then suddenly it happened. So for the TTC'ers life can surprise you! Looking forward to hearing from you all X Kim.

also, i'm having a waterbirth which i know will help a lot. Surprisingly enough, there's a hospital here that offers that.. and i have a great midwife :)

yeah, i'm reading it now... it's AWESOME!! i love that book! of course, i'm a little biased because i want to be a midwife, but man, like you.. i had so many fears that the book was able to put to rest. And i've learned so much on how to at least gear my birth experience in the direction i want. I particularly liked the chapter about the sphincter law and the one about the vagina... those i think will help me the most. I'm taking the book to the hospital so my husband can read me the stories in between contractions!

Re your question on the waterbirth issue. Go to YouTube and sign up for an account; you'll have to verify that you're mature enough to watch the videos, but they've got lots on waterbirths! The main concerns 1st timers have with it are: poo in the water (a good midwife or birthing center will use a fish-net like thing to scoop discretely) and baby drowning- which doesn't happen as the umbilical cord is in water- only "shuts down" supply from you when exposed to air- so baby can be underwater for a minute or so as you transition into being a mommy! Stop by MumofSix's page- she's done a waterbirth and plans another. She's got tons of info and is suuuuper open to questions! Good luck!
