A few of them have just recently had children and some are going through it with me, so they are the best source for me to exchange info and to get advice from. My mom had her last child almost 17 years ago, that is just too long ago for me. Staying current is important and getting the lastest info is better. My OB doctor is the best to talk to, though. I have 3 small girls under the age of 5 and will be expecting my son in August 2001.
Family members tend to tell old wives tales and exaggerate negatively on labor.
I am now pregnant with my second child. I have read information in books, and the internet about what to expect while you are pregnant. Plus the advice from my mother, mother in law, and friends. My mother had nine of us. We all are healthy.
