At the end of the day some women find it more difficult than others, its nothing to do with the woman failing. Some people don't get help and have no way of improving things.

I decided when I was pregant that I would try my best, it was somehitng I wanted to do and I would give it a ago BUT if it didn't work out i was not going to beat myself up about it (I thought the same way about the birth). I bf for 8 months, and loved it. Yes there were some hard days but as it turned out, they were a very small percentage of that 8 months.

Its going to be new to you and your baby. I don't thing you should avoid listen to people who found it hard (knowledge is power and all that) as long as you also know where to go for help if you have any problems. Afterall who says you will have any problems or that they'll be the same problems.
