Young lass at work is expecting.

Today one of the male members of staff was tellling her some God awful things about pregnancy, birth then caring for a child.

Me & the others who have expereinced all of the above said nowt.

There was defo a silence conspiracy when i was expecting, no one told me anything, i remembered feeling utter hatred to every woman i knew who had had a child...and not told me how utterly utterly horrific it was, and what to expect.

I just cant bring myself to say anything because every one is different arent they and whatever happened to me, may never happen to anyone else, so it wouldnt be fair would it?

I wouldn't give horror stories-it isn't for everyone. I was lucky, but each time I have immediatley wanted to do it again! I wouldn't say that either as they may well not be so lucky. (I wouldn't have dared have another in case I didn't get to hospital in time!)
