Third antenatal class
This session covers the topic of labour. Great exposure to my hubby. The midwife talk about role as labour partner. There's so much things that my hubby gotto do when I m in labour. She explains what he'll expect in labour room. That really helps him to imagine what's gonna happen. Hopefully he won't breakout or faint in the labour room. But I m sure with him beside me thruout the whole labour, it'll be great support. The midwife also share with us how the pain is gonna be and at which areas. Sounds scary!! But the pain management - breathing technique is gonna be useful. Three different ways of breathing to curb the labour pain. Starting from Pain, Push & Pent. I'll need my hubby to remind me the technique when I m in pain. I might just confuse & forgot about these techniques when I m in great pain. During the exercise, midwife get all hubbies to pinch their wives as signal of pain. Then wives are to practice the breathing techniques to ease the pain. It was quite bearable for me. But tge next day, the pinch turn into blue black on my arms. Poor me gotto bear with the blue black aches! After that we got the chance to visit labour room. It's very private and nice environment. Like it very much! Only hubby is allow to go into labour room area. Other family members will have to wait outside. Cool! Bonding moments between baby, me & hubby at the very first moment when baby arrives. Midwife brief us what to do when I m admitted. Just feel that it's very price worthy to deliver in private hospital. All equipments are fully available in the labour room. Even toilet is there in every room. It's so good!
