olivo, my dps idea of supporting me during labour was to sleep through most of it, and spend an hour of the three hours before the birth i was in hospital going to the shop or outside on the phone, despite that he was fantastic during the actual birth, incredibaly calm and supportive, stood by my head giving me sips of water and just being there for me without interfering which is exactly what i needed. so there hope for them all!
so
of all you organised types, we're still half hoping to be able to move before baby comes so not bothering to organise stuff yet, all the stuff for the new baby is still piled in the crib in dd's room and i've only just started rooting through all the baby clothes to see what can be salvaged (thank god for vanish for getting out spit up stains, its saved me a fortune in new babygros!)
just had a rotten weekend, dp had his tooth pulled and was moping around as if he were on deaths door and dd hes had a raging fever for 2 days. were supposed to be away this weekend but no hope of that with both of them sick. so bloody exhausted now though, i'd give anything for a proper lie in like i used to have pre-dd!
welcome helly72, sorry your having trouble with ante-natal classes. have you checked the notice boards in your gp's office for private classes? theres always a few fliers up in my gps and i'm in the boglands of western ireland! check your local papers too in the classified section. you'll have to pay a bit more for classes like these but it's well worth it to prepare your dh, they need to be warned before d-day!
