Aquanatal!

[Crossposted to ailbhe and uk_pregnancy]

So today I had my first aquanatal class. It was... odd. I think I started earlier than most - I'm at week 25 or so, and most people were at week 32-38, I think. It was vastly undignified, though some women managed to keep their hair and makeup dry (how???).

Chlorine is one of the world's great evils, and shea butter is one of its great goods. Also, I am deeply grateful that ante-natal classes of all descriptions are so easy to spot, even without my glasses.

In other news, my original midwife, who met me once 13 weeks ago, remembers me and is going to sort out my whole problem with changing GPs and getting appointments and being given conflicting information. I love and trust her with all my heart. Which reminds me - I was expecting a callback from British Doulas, and I never got it. I wonder what happened? Perhaps I'll call them after lunch.

The loft conversion should take my mind off stocking my nappy bag with exciting baby goodies, shouldn't it?
