There doesn't appear to be an instruction manual

Yesterday we went to our first Antenatal class (the first of four). Here's a brief rundown on the thrills and spills we had.....

....ok, we didn't really have any. Basically, we had a few group exercise things where we had to introduce ourselves and discuss what we were looking forward to about becoming parents, and what we wanted to get out of the class. Then we had a group exercise thing where we had a list of questions and we had to discuss the answers, with questions such as How long does labour last and When will your water break?

After this, we had another group exercise where we had a pile of cards with things on such as 'Feeling tired', 'Contractions Start', 'Pushing', 'Baby Born' and 'HELP!' and we had to put them in the order we thought they would come in during the labour process. I just stuck the 'HELP' one to me (we had name sticky tags already).....I'm so funny.

So, all in all it was a bit boring, I'm not really a fan of group exercises....oh yeah, we also learned the best position for the baby to be before it is born (that would be head down, facing inwards)....hopefully it will be a bit more learning and a bit less group work next week.
