You said these fears are "normal." Well, I'm not an expert, but she seems over-wrought considering it's her second time around. Or at least based on my experience in Mrs. Dallas. Yes there was a certain degree of nervousness, but having been through it once already it seemed not so scary for the second kid.

I think the midwife-at-home thing is a bad idea. I don't object to it in principle (and again, that means a lot, because I know so much about it), but if she really is scared of pain and worried about a difficult labor, it doesn't seem like a sensible choice. Is she feeling pressured for some reason by somebody to do the "natural" thing?
