I only have one child, so maybe someone else with multiple children can give better advice on this. I'd say you will be fine, I just got unlucky, went into labor while my doctor was on vacation and I ended up with a bad doctor substitute. It was just bad luck, nothing more. My story is severe to some, but I've heard worse so I feel fortunate, and I was told I would never have kids, so he is my miracle. I'd say statistically births nowadays go alot better than they use to. The odds are in your favor, don't let my bad experience discourage you. I'm still here and healthy, my son is a healthy (and rambunctious lol) 5 year old. Besides a hearing problem he had (my mom's side of the family has it, so it's hereditary) he is a normal 5 year old, he goes to speech therapy for him to catch up now since he can hear, but as far as being smart otherwise he has his strong points that surpass some his age, for example he can do puzzles that are for 9 year olds or older. When he wants to color (lol notice the "wants") he can color on a level of a 9 or 10 year old. He colors inside the lines very well, normally does coloring true to life. Etc. etc. So yea, don't be discouraged, I'm sure when the time is right and you are ready (definitely don't rush it!) you will be fine.
