Antenatal classes

today was the first session and all i can say for now is that its worth each and every dollar spent.

the person conducting the class was a mid-wife who's got more than 28 years experience and has worked in some western countries ( UK i think ).

and i can tell that she's not wasting anyones time and knows what she's talking about.

todays calss is the first of four and she explained whats been going on in the wife's body from the first month all the way to 3 months after birth. in detail.

ok some of you may wonder what i'm doing in the class or why both of us signed up.
well, the main idea i signed us up for the class was so that Chris would have an idea of what to expect and know what are the signs of stuff going wrong.

and tell you what, the course today did exactly that. hit the nail right on the head.
we havent touched base on the actual giving birth process,thats reserved for the next class but the booklet she gave has got already written notes and also charts which would keep a record of baby's behaviour while in the tummy, which in turn might help the doctor in the diagnosis if things go out of hand. hey, having accurate data is better than guessing right?

and to you about-to-be fathers, dont think that being in this class does not need your attention. she'll tell you where you should play your part and help out.

words which formed key items in the course were:
expectation
priorities
family
fun
responsibility
hormones

hey and i also found out the answer to my food cravings and mood swings.
its true , husbands get the same affects as the wives :)
at least i'm not puking all the time :)
