Well, tonight will be our last in a series of 5 pregnancy and birthing classes. We have covered a series of topics from pain relief, regular birth, birthing complications, breastfeeding and tonight is care of the newborn. We also had a tour of the birthing suites and maternity ward.
Last week, in breastfeeding class, the guys who were absent from the week before (which we were) were asked to put on the 'Empathy Belly" - a pregnancy brace for Dad's to be to experience some of the weight of pregnancy.
Peter tried to get out of wearing it, and ended up having to wear it for the rest of the class!
We also learnt HEAPS about breastfeeding, watched a really interesting video on how to breastfeed and got to practice positioning a baby using dolls. Even the guys had to have a go at positioning their babies!
Tonight we should be learning how to change nappies, dress and bathe baby so I will take my camera along again.
I will upload photos of the breastfeeding class tomorrow with tonight's photos.
