IT’S fair to say that I have been more anxious during this pregnancy that my previous two. I can’t put my finger on why, but it’s definitely there. Maybe it’s because we are bombarded with stories in the media of birth complications. Or maybe it’s due to the fact that other people love to tell you the horror stories when you’re pregnant. Why is that?
