The classes were actually v good. We didnt see the video of a birth i had been promised and there wasnt a knitted placenta in sight! She tried to get us to mingle which I thought was good as people have said that you dont really meet anyone at the NHS classes. There was a lady there from my pregnancy yoga classes who seems really nice but it is hard to know whether a friendship will develop or not! Unlikely as she is quite far advanced in her pregnancy actually so I probably wont see too much more of her - a shame as i really like her. We talked through everything from the very first stages of labour and what it feels like and what can go wrong and what the man can do to help. We did get the baby born but she felt we rushed the last bit too much so we need to go over that again at the next mid-wife class! It is one on breastfeeding next week which isnt at all convenient- at no notice in the middle of hte day when i have meetings to go to for work! but i will try to get there ithink- in my own interests to do so. Why dont they like men going to breastfeeding classes? they need to learn as well dont they so they can help/support/ encourage when it gets tough?
Last night we found a new pub in our area. Actually halfway between where we live and where my best friend is moving to (which is 10 mins away- will be fantastic). It was lovely and looks like it does top grub too which will be wonderful! Although not many more chances to go there i suppose!
