I also like to reassure the controlling type A moms that while adjusting to a newborn may be harder for them than a go with the flow mom, that all those skills at maintaining control will come in very handy when they need to juggle doctor's appts, school lunch forms, playdates, their own work requirements and the household tasks. The mom who can sit on the couch and happily nurse while chaos ensues all around may not be quite as adept at handling all the chaos once she gets off the couch...
