Went to my second class last night and thought I would share with you.
It was based on 'the complications' of labour so talked about things like breech babies, bleeding, c-sections etc...
The midwife passed lots of medical equipment around the group for us to look closely at such as ventouse, crochet needle thingy (for breaking water) lol, monitor, forceps, drip etc... Some of the stuff looked a bit scary but I'm sure when I'm in pain I won't care!
The midwife said that only a few % of women who go in have complications so not to worry about it too much. She also said that they only perform things like episiotomies and c-sections if really really necessary, so sounds good to me.
Overall it was really informative and I am understanding things better now. Makes me less worried about labour!
