2nd prenatal class

Last Sat we went for my checkup and as well as prenatal class after. For the first time we were late for 45 mins, but also lucky we don't have to wait for a long time, cos by the time we reached there, patients are almost all gone and Dr Tan has a surgery to do. Now it is really the peak period of giving birth. Every checkup we go Dr Tan always has surgery to attend. Knowing Dr Tan is in a rush, doubt she will speak much, truely, though I gained weight of 2kg for 3 weeks, she didn't say anything. Mr was telling me, Doc also give up on you! So sad.. not as if I wanted to gain so much, and honestly I don't really eat that much now, no tea breaks also. Baby weight's till date is 1.67KG, my mum say wow so small ah! I also wondered if baby will grow to the standard weight when she is full term.. Good thing is baby's head starting to move downwards, after all she isn't that noti apart from kicking me and rolling about in my tummy.. LOL.


The second prenatal class was quite funny, more laughter than the 1st one. Before class started, as usual, Mrs Wong will put up a video, this time was the different kinds of pain relief for giving birth. You can choose from electric current, gas and air, injections to epidural. I find that the way epidural is done really puts me off, though it is said to be the most effective but most people said it will caused backaches. And I always suffer from backaches, imagine if I really took epidural, I can become old woman very soon! :( So in my mind, I decided to use gas and air unless really so pain, I will consider epidural.


Lesson started! Breathing techniques when you are having contractions (pain)! I guess this is the most funny part of the lesson. She demo the breathing techqniue, such that when you are in pain, take a deep breath, and then breathe out. The other was take a deep breath, then pant, pant, blow! So while she was demo this, she asked all the papa to go home try, to shit halfway, and then do the pant, pant, blow, the shit shouldn't be moving but staying there. If it really stayed, means you succeed! Sounds super funny! Maybe those who are reading this can try! LOL!


Then she went to talk about how long a labour should be in, was like 8 hours.. I cannot imagine a pain of 8 hours.. she make it so funny by saying 8 hours are those fast ones, if you happen to be a slow coach, good luck! :( I hope I wasn't one of them, so she asked us to go back to ask our mummies how long she took to give birth to us.. For me was 8 hours! Hoping it does for me as well!


The most enjoyable part is papa get to massage for mama. New massage for the back! And as well as how to massage when in pain in labour ward. Mrs Wong first sentence was, "Find her waist, remember don't ask her where is her waist! Else mama will be so sad!" Haha.. All of us set laughing! But I was thinking when we are in pain, do we still have mood to game for massage.. but anyway, end up she said, papa will keep on massage though hoping to call for help but they won't, so ended up after labour, in the room, not the mama who is tired but is the papa who will be snoring away on the couch due to the excessive help to massage mama.. :P


Before the class ended, Mrs Wong brought us to the nursery to see how she handle the baby. OH MY! Some babies are so small, so cute.. and Mrs Wong chose a baby and showed us the way to carry and she carried like a toy! Swinging the baby here and there, and even holding the baby under her one arm! My god! Scary! But is really cute! I really wondered how small my girl will be... hehe..
