person A: I am having my first baby; a boy. I hear all these different labor stories that aren't exactly reassuring! 
person B: Congratulations! If it helps at all_comma_ my wife and I have two young boys and both of her deliveries with very smooth! She said it wasn't as bad as she expected.
person A: Aw_comma_ that's so neat. I would love two boys!  I am having a boy!  Oh good_comma_ that's another good story for me to hold onto.  I'm not expecting it to be amazing or anything but wow_comma_ so many people say they almost died and things. 
person B: I think those types of situations are rather rare! The medical field has come a very long way. I'm sure you'll be fine and it'll all be worth it in the end.
