I haven't really seen any scaremongering but then I don't get any papers, just Guardian online. I've been looking into it a bit more on the nhs site and think it's the right thing for me to do. If you want to follow my path there are links in a thread I started in second tri. Be warned, I got a bit cross with someone! Lol
It's good to talk it through, the nurse will be able to give info relevant to your specific concerns.
Funny dream!
