Today, I attended the first session of my ante-natal classes. As I have said, it's a refresher course because I have attended the same classes before when I was pregnant with my first son. I am 31 weeks pregnant at the moment and I thought that I would like to do ante natal all over again so I called the maternity hospital that I am attending and have my name listed for the said class.
About 30 expectant mothers arrived in the class today and I believe I am the only Filipina that was there today. I didn't mind though. The session lasted for nearly 2 hours but it was very informative and interesting. The lecturers taught us how to take care of ourselves during pregnancy. I also learned, again, the value of doing the Pelvic Floor exercises to prevent future problems of becoming a member of the "Leaky Ladies". They also taught us how to take care of our back/pelvic during pregnancy; how to avoid cramps and swelling. And lastly they taught us nutrition during pregnancy.
To be honest, I am glad that I went to my ante natal class because I forgotten most of the things that I learned before though I read books and did my research but I really love as we say to hear it from the experts.
I am now looking forward to my next ante-natal class knowing that it will give me more relevant information regarding my pregnancy and with my baby.
