Dad's Diary -Antenatal Classes & All That Malarky

Nothing brings home the impending reality of fatherhood quite like a trip to the local maternity unit with 22 other soon to be mums and dads.

Despite the fact that I had already become the font of all knowledge in such matters simply by buying one, very big book on the subject, it was apparently essential for this dad to be to attend the first of 4 Antenatal classes.

Here the midwife advised mums to be that the best thing to do when they go into labour is to stay at home as long as possible and to keep their minds off contractions it was a good idea to get some household chores done such as ironing, hoovering and cleaning the floor on all fours.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF I'D HAVE SUGGESTED THAT.....!!!!!!!
