So last Thursday (yeah, I’m running late) was our second anti-natal class. The topic was “what to expect on the day”, and started with all the stuff leading up to going into hospital – preparation, getting The Bag Of Things together, and so on. It then moved on to the pain and contractions and… messyness. Which was nice.
Finally, we were shown a video of two births – one “normal” birth (which wasn’t too bad, despite the graphic nature), and one water birth, which was all sorts of “ewww”. You could see the water going from clear to yellow to brown. And the baby looked like a purple frog.
The class was very useful, but I’m not sure if I’m feeling better, or worse, for going, as there are some things you can’t un-see.
