The bump looks quite big in this photo. I don't feel that big... At least it's very neat and all bump!
After the cancellation of the first original time (due to the snow), we finally got to attend a session. We chose a course in Banstead (as it's a nice area) and it was at the teachers house rather than a church hall. It's run through the NCT (private antenatal) the lady running the course, Maria Hamilton is great, she is from Northern Ireland, has two kids (6 and 8 yrs old) and is very laid back, chilled and down to earth.Dan and I were the second couple to arrive, I walked into the living room first, saw a girl that looked like girl from Ugly Betty, her partner and then another girl who looked 'right up my street!'. As that girl stood I realised she had no bump.... she was a trainee midwife, typical!
There were a total of 5 couples on the course, Ugly Betty lookalike is Alicia and Phillip, who live in Hackbridge, Funmi and Pradeep who are moving to Epsom, Rachel and John who live in Kingswood and Irina and Drew. They all seem like really nice people and it will be good to get to know them along the course.
Dan and I along with Funmi and Pradeep are the only two couples that don't know the sex of the baby. Everyone else is having boys, I think!
The course is really good, a lot of chatting things through and I think it helps that Maria is so down to earth as it makes so much more sense that way! We have learnt about pain relief, massage techniques, the labour (ouch), relationship management and so much more. It is such a good course and I would highly recommend it to other expectant parents. I must admit though... I wasn't that nervous about childbirth before but since discussing it during the course, I am now sh*tting myself!!! It's sure gonna hurt!!!
