Interesting class this week. The main topic was managing the pain of giving birth - how you can help your partner etc.
At one point, the woman running the class ran through a series of step by step drawings showing the progress of the baby as it's being born. Yikes. The whole class was silent through this! When we got to the second to last slide, she said "...and it's at this stage that people often describe as feeling like your s**ting a melon"!
Later on, the men had to leave the room and write down their thoughts on 'how you can help your partner during labour'. No one was brave enough to write down 'getting the ironing board out for them'.
Whilst the men were out of the room, the women had a discussion about massaging the perineum. Ermmm, google it if you don't know where it is!
The weekly fun continues.....
