Parentcraft Class

Sarah and I had our first visit to the hospital yesterday as part of our Parent Craft class!

We were at the hospital for almost 2 hours, but to be honest the time flew by.

The best part of this visit was the tour of the labour suite. We found out about what to do when the labour starts (Call the Midwife!) and also what happens when you first arrive, including what to do about parking the car (something that I completely not thought about).

The first thing that I noticed about the labour suite is the temperature. It is constantly tropical in all of the rooms (the midwife reminded us that "Baby is arriving from somewhere that is a constant 37.5oc). I am definitely going to pack shorts and a t-shirt for the labour.

Once we had taken a tour of the actual labour suite we got to visit the post natal ward. We arrived during visiting hours so it was really hectic!

At our visit next week we get into the really exciting section "Labour". I think that this session might get a bit technical. I will make sure to keep you all posted!
