afternoon ladies 
had my first of 4 two hour antenatal classes today. OH came along and it was really enjoyable and worth while.
today we were all introduced to each other and the midwife who led the class was fantastic, so informative and positive.
She spoke us through the different stages of labour this week and explained so much about the positions of the baby etc.
i felt it a bit of a chore before i got there but now i can't wait until next week.
OH has a 'dads to be' class at the hospital next week as well and we are going to have a tour of the ward. its all starting to feel so soon!
At one point she was explaining that when the baby arrives they can get very cold very quickly which is why they encourage skin to skin contact from the mother, she said that a mothers body temperature will adjust to keep the baby warm...our bodies just know what to do! how bloody sweet is that, i actually welled up! xx
