On Thursday night James and I went to another prenatal class. It was again very useful and helpful hearing information to prepare us for the birth. This one though was watching a short video of labour. After watching it, not so keen! I know that there's no going back, and I know that adrenalin kicks in so you aren't thinking about everything as much as you can before, but yeah. It has slightly freaked me out. Hearing about the different needles which will get put in for drips and if you get the epidural, etc, I don't like needles! Seeing that you just strip down, I like clothes. Seeing that the baby gets up onto you immediately after birth - that is wonderful and I know a very important time, but it still has blood all over it - I don't do blood. On the video the midwife then showed the woman all the different parts of her placenta - no thank you! Seeing that the head crowns and then the baby doesn't come out until the next contraction. I think that will hurt a bit...
I know it is silly. And I know that all will be fine and I'll do what I have to do so that Bubble can come out and I'll do what the doctor says, but I just am a little bit freaked out about it.
On other news since the letter went out to my parents at school about me finishing up, I've had a couple of my parents being very lovely and supportive which is a nice change from the start of the year. The kids are very excited about meeting Bubble too.
One of my boys is so keen to meet Bubble, he keeps coming up and waving at my tummy and each day asks me if Bubble is ok. Also, on Tuesday I was doing playground duty, watching the kindy kids and one of the boys came up and asked if he could rub my tummy (I've never met this boy before). I laughed and said, 'no, we keep our hands to ourselves'. He said 'but I really want to' and then the next thing he was rubbing my tummy. It was very cute but a bit odd. I think he is a sensory boy.
