Matthew and I very much enjoyed the course.  I think the course has fully helped me prepare for childbirth and has given me some material to practice and prepare with.  Without it, I wouldn’t have known how to prepare for childbirth.  One of the best things I feel the course provided was identify the role for the partner.  Through the course, my husband has realised what his role through childbirth should be and feels confident of how to best help me.  Also, he is able to help me to prepare for childbirth and practice the exercises we have been given.  Without the course, he wouldn’t have been so aware of what to do.  I think the course has taught us that the process of childbirth is a shared process and responsibility rather than just a process the mother goes through and the partner is just there.

I do feel differently towards childbirth as it has taken out some of the mystery for me and has showed me ways you can prepare for the event.  On our way home on the last night of the course, Matthew thanked me for asking him to go along as he said that he got so much out of it and feels confident about his role during this process.  

Thanks very much Kat for all your help.
