Had our final Prenatal Childbirth Class today, which means school is…OUT!
And boy…did we learn some lessons.
Topics we covered included different ways of inducing births. Who would have guessed that a crochet needle, could also be used to break somebody’s water? (I will be forever suspicious of Grannies knitting booties in the foyer.)
The side-splitting walkthrough of a cesarian. (Which incidentally, is NOT the thirteenth Zodiac sign), but does include a bleeding goat and an altar.
The complex and amazing subject of breast feeding. (I’m a guy…it’s always about the boobs) 🙂
I’m all for expressing an opinion, but expressing milk?…That’s a whole other matter.
BTW: Did you realise we’re the only mammals on the planet that gives birth to our young and then feeds it milk from a completely different mammal? Although, as far as mammals go, I guess cows were a smarter choice. Imagine if we milked whales! Not only would it be damned near impossible to grip your hands around the teat, but how would you keep the bucket from floating away underneath it? Plus, it’s pretty hard to hold your breath and suckle at the same time. (more…)
THEN YOU SAID…
