I feel happy to still be managing 5 days a week of training. I'm consistent if nothing else which has to serve me well at some point.

Daniel and I attended antenatal classes this week. They were interesting. It was good to hear more about what to expect in labour with the different stages of labour discussed in more detail. Knowledge is power and its reassuring to at least have an idea of how much longer will be left! On the other hand sometimes not knowing too much is better. Hmmm not sure which I'd prefer. I plan to just go with the flow. It seems to be an event in your life in which you have not much control over so I see no point in stressing out over what your birth plan might be. People seem to get disappointed when things don't go to plan. The only thing I'd like to avoid would be a caesarian birth but from what the midwife was saying they are becoming more the norm which is an interesting fact.
