This week, we had our third (of four in total) anti-natal class. The theme this time was “Pain”. Basically, we were told all about the pains to expect before and during labour, and the methods that could be used in order to help with them. They ranged from “breathing differently” to “omfg we’re putting needles in your spine”. Nice.
Then we were told about some complications that could happen, most of which involved yanking the baby out with some sort of clamp or vacuum pump, and having a caesarian. Which was also nice.
So we left at the end feeling a bit uncomfortable.
