Its funny what you learn about labour that you didn't know when you were a "younger woman"..... I always swore I would be the sort of Mum who had her new born baby in the pool doing the cool floaty thing. This is until I realised about the bleeding afterwards, and how it might not be possible!!
I'm hoping to teach our baby to be comfortable in water myself as I have done swimming instruction in the past. I figure if my baby is happy in the water getting a bit of splashings on the face, can learn to blow bubbles and use goggles etc, when they are about 5-6 I'll get them into formalised lessons. I'm hoping for a swimming champ!! If nothing else, a child that is comfy in the water as Shane adn I have alot to do with anything watery... Sailing, swimming, fishing, etc.....
Its one of the best things we can teach our kids!
