Diary of some pregnant blokes

[Booney]

yeah, that's a shitty x-ray, you'd need to hope that you don't end up with a punctured lung by doing anything stoopid like taping one of your Mrs' preggo crack ups and sending it to her.

6-7 weeks to go and tonight is our first parenting class. Any advice gents?

I assume staying away from terms like fatty, chunky and whole lotta woman is advised.

I'm actually really looking forward to it which contradicts everything I have heard about them.

Probably very good advice but a "that's gotta hurt" when they talk about the birth is going to be hard to contain

We shall keep an eye out for your obituary in the paper if you dare

I do believe a comment such as this would end up hurting you more

The way you blokes are building this up it sounds like some of the women in the room are going to have no sense of humour and a low tolerance to my "Sparkling Repartee". They may even be unpleasant to be around and moody. Way to bring me down lads

I would have thought it would be full of first time parents who are excited to be starting a new family. It's at 7.30 so all girls should have been fed.

[Q.]

I say go in with zero inhibitions and let us all know how that turns out.

Missus and I got plucked from the class to stand up the front and demonstrate me standing behind her and rocking her. Once I told the room "This is what got us into this mess in the first place" we weren't chosen as models again and I could sit back down and read SAFooty and Tatts.com on my phone.

[Dogwatcher]

Didn't find the classes too bad. Actually, they were kind of fun. But, at the time, we were in a country town and already knew everyone in the class.
It meant us lads got to go have a beer every now and then.

That's Gold!!!

They won't want to get me up the front, I have a whole routine to work through.

I will be at the back I reckon. TBH I have deliberately not looked into a few birthing and post natal details to ensure there is things I can take out of it. I have heard everything from "one class and you will never go back" to " I learnt a lot and you need to go to them". Hopefully we will be somewhere in the middle.

The highlight of the one I went to was when one of the pregnant women there accused her fella of perving at another pregnant woman's tits in the class!

Did you apologise to Mrs Spargo?

[Mythical Creature]

I remember with ours, we had a choice of 1, 4 hour class or 4, 2 hour classes. We went with the shorter option.
When they showed the video of a chick having a baby, one of the other preggo ladies went all white and fainted, her and her partner got sent home and never had to came back. I told my missus to faint so we could go home, but not to be.

If I'm in a room with giant swollen titties and there is cleavage in the area my eyes work independently from my brain. I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings either by not looking.

I didn't mind the classes either. The only one that I really didn't need to be at fully was the breastfeeding one, but it still helped.
It helped me a lot, because I did very little research before hand!

We found most people were easy going & accepted humour. I think most are quite excited & we didn't have any super hormonal crazy people in our class.

Highlight - The stereotypical bogan, who just sat there loudly discussing her life "Can you believe he wants a paternity test? I know he's the dad, but if he wants it, he can pay for it".

Lowlight - After sitting through the entire, 'complications & unexpected pregnancy issues' class. The teacher, summarizing, "an issue could be something we have discussed, like caesarean, or forcepts, etc, or it could be as something as your baby having red hair"... Lady please.

They have a rule in China where you can drown girls or boys with red hair.

I attended my first parenting class on Wednesday. Mrs isn't due till October but she is like a bull at a gate with all this haha. Wasn't too bad actually. The only slightly awkward thing was my mrs said I was an engineer when we introduced ourselves, so then later in the class, the midwife was in the middle of giving some advice, stopped mid sentence and said but we don't have any scientific evidence for this... But...

Haha.

She must have noticed my scrutineering gaze hehe

Got to be honest, I really enjoyed it. I learnt a lot, asked the questions I needed answers to and had all commonly dispensed myths put to bed. The presenter was good and I ended up sitting next to an old PNU team mate. All 5 couples were pretty cool and we had a lot of laughs.

Next week the mock birth may not be as much fun but tonight was very important in the perpetration process.

[Q.]

I hear you were JD's birthing partner tonight, hope you left him in one piece, we need him for the finals pal.
