Antenatal Programme

Just last Thursday, hubby and I went for our 1st antenatal class. We were slot in between an earlier commenced class. It was at Pantai Medical Centre, Bangsar.

The session was about labour. Wow, a big topic for the 1st time mama like me. We were shown some slides; some nice ones and some worrying ones. Perhaps it was my emotions, it caused my bb turning up and down ever so excited and active that night. Then, we were ushered on to the 2nd Floor where the labour wards are. We were also shown some of the normal procedure and also how the preggy's legs being hooked onto some stripes. Yike, looks a bit daunting and seeing it in real life was rather different from watching them on screen. Well, at least, it is good to have seen it first than seeing it on for the 1st time on the 'labour' day. In the midst of the class, we heard in another ward not too far away, the mid-wive's going ' PUSH, now harder, PUSH!'

Then, in the middle of the class, we heard a very sweet voice which melted the mama's heart - the cry of a new born. So sweet indeed. A new life! :) Soon, we were taken up to the 'resting' ward, where we can see the babies warmly tucked in their cosy blankets waiting to be pushed to their mamas' rooms to be breast fed. So so so sweet.

9 more weeks to go. Well into 3rd trimester and as what the doctor said 'Eat less but frequent meals, you will tend to experience difficulty in breathing sometimes and tough to swallow a hearty meal'. True enough. But the weight part....how come it escalates so fast even with my normal meals? OMG!

On Saturday, we went for another class. A fun one this time. Teaching us how to do some simple exercise. Some done alone, some with dad-dee. It was fun and with the haze ever hanging in the air, it is actually a good idea to stay in door doing this simple exercise.

Informative and well organised. Good job, hospital and staffs. Though we think the price for the course could be lowered a bit la...he he he :P
