Ante-Natal Week 4

It's funny seeing these women get bigger in the space of just one week. They were all coming in to the class this week rubbing their bellies - all too hot and bothered to be interested in taking part in the group tasks.

This week we discussed more about pain relief (we seem to be doing this every week!) and the pros and cons of each option including the effects each has on the baby. We also talked about having a birth plan which details all your preferences when it comes to giving birth.

Next week we move on to post-birth including breastfeeding. Before that though, we have 'the video'. We've been told that if you don't want to see it, come along ten minutes later as she'll be running it at the start of the class. Can't understand why you wouldn't - forewarned is forearmed and all that....

This is really interesting and good to read, I can remember the mums at my classes, years bck now, used to look me up and down and say: "I thought I felt bad until I saw you." Charming.

Well done on your wonderful blog and I look forward to continuing to follow your journey.

best wishes
