- Diet in Pregnancy
- Role of Father
- Admission & Preparation of childbirth
Hubby and me signed up for Parentcraft classes in Damansara Specialist. With the amount of RM150, we need to attend 4 sessions which will include all sorts of info that a parent-to-be need to know. Our first session was last Tuesday. Surprise surprise, we were the only Malays in the class. The other attendees were all Chinese, Indians and foreigners. Frankly, when I told my parents/ relatives/parent's close friends about us attending this class, they were not really keen about it. But for me, I just feel that I need to equip myself with all the info that I needed to know about pregnancy, childbirth and also the responsibility.
We arrived late to our first session. Hubby was on-call on the day before and he kinda slept almost half of the 2-hr session. Poor hubby, he didn't sleep for 36 hrs and had to listen to the lectures given by the midwives. The first session was OK. Quite informative. I enjoyed the talk given by one of the midwife about 'role of father' but I don't think Hubby paid any attention to it. The last session was on admission and I think that is very crucial. Unfortunately, the midwife (different one this time) talked too fast that I can barely catch up to the points that she is trying to make. Unlike the earlier midwife, this midwife gave us all the sad story about labour, that the baby will end up dead or something happened to the wife, etc. Not very encouraging, I know. But I think the point that she is trying to make is that we have to take proper precautions to ensure that the baby and Mummy is safe.
Today will be the second session, which we will learn on breathing and relaxation technique, antenatal exercise and back care. Sounds interesting. Hopefully Hubby will not doze off this time.
