So we made it through the weekend of classes. The best part was, Farmer Brown didn't fall asleep once! He even said that he really enjoyed the classes and now better understands what is happening to me and to our pending little family!
There were six couples in our group, three from town and three from farms. Great group of people of varying backgrounds, ages and ethnicities. Four couples are having girls and myself and another couple are waiting until the birth to find out the sex of our babies.
I found it to be really informative. As a person who really enjoys learning and taking in knowledge, it satisfied me more than I expected. I said to Farmer Brown when we got home that as I have all this new knowledge fresh in my head right now, I want the baby to come now! Haha not really though, as it needs to cook a bit longer yet.
We learnt some cool tricks on how to do things with stuff we already have instead of having to buy expensive and unnecessary gadgets!
Was great to have a better understanding of pain medications and how they effect both me and the baby. Understanding all the different types of proceedures for giving birth, ie induction, forceps, ventouse etc.
We had a few good laughs with the practical things that we did. You could definately see that we are all keen new parents to be.
A big thank you to our educator, who made the weekend both enjoyable and non threatening. Pretty bloody good for a free ante-natal class if you ask me!
Next weekend some of my friends are having a Baby Shower for me. Can't wait to catch up with some that I haven't seen since I became pregnant!
Looking forward to another great weekend with great people!
