I think the mulitply posts at the beginning were a little dramatic, I for one was wanting to slit my wrist

.........lol.... just being dramatic!
But all those things can and do happen.
If you decide to breed your girl I hope she has an uneventful easy labor! Many labors do turn out fine, and moms do fine too but knowing what to look for and have that knowledge at the time is invaluable if something turns bad. Having alot of experience, or someone there with it is even better.
Good luck on whatever your decision may be.
