Antenatal Class - Lesson 3 Labour

This is the scariest lesson we've been to. It shows women giving birth! It looks really painful and bloody... but when the baby is actually out, it seems that the pain was not so bad afterall.

There was one woman who seemed the most relaxed - the one that had a water birth. She wasn't screaming or moaning much. Just looked a little tense. She even cracked a joke about the float she's holding. Too bad Singapore doesn't have water birth. I wonder why. The books wrote that water birth helps to soften the vaginal and makes it less painful to give birth. Seems like it's the best birthing method.

Labour is probably the worst part of being pregnant but it's also the happiest for a woman cos after that we'll see our little baby... the little one that was inside us for 9 whole months.
