Last night Mrs Bear and I attended our first ante-natal class. I must admit I was not looking forward to it; I expected to be lying on big cushions doing breathing exercises for 2 hours but it proved to be quite different.
The midwife presenting the session was very down-to-earth and a touch aggressive but she got her point across, it was all informative and very re-assuring, particularly for myself, who up until now has believed that my key role at the birth is to ensure everyone has enough Kit Kats.
I specifically read in a pregnancy manual (very much like the Haynes car variety but with more graphic pictures of vaginas) that the partner of the mother should bring along plenty of snacks and try to keep everyone well fed and calm during the labour process. So I have been out and bought 48 Kit Kats and 20 Valium tablets - should keep us going for a few days.
