But mostly you will have never realised that your heart could love something so much that it hurts, you also realise that you love your husband more than you though but that he will forever be second best to the tiny buddle that has captured your heart, soul and mind forever xxDBxx

Best advice I can give is not to get too worried or listen to horror stories. Everyone is different and you won't know what it is going to be like for you until you are going through it.
I didn't have the pee thing that Tiger Lily mentioned, although the first number 2 is always a bit scary as obviously you will be a bit bruised and sore down below!
I was surprised how much I bled after the birth, but it does slow down very quickly if this happens to you.
As for nooky after the birth I think everyone is different, as long as you wait until you feel ready again and that everything is healed up then you will be fine.
Also trust your body, remember having a baby is a very natural thing and your body knows what it is doing.
Finally, whatever happens as soon as you hold your lo in your arms it is all totally worth it, and you will be amazed at what you have created.
Good luck, enjoy the rest of your pregnancy xx
