I also love the "DETACH" thing! Brilliant idea. And the Gandhi quote is great.
G, don't you love technology - flying off txts and emails to the wrong person! Soooo dangerous, ha ha.
BD, I really think the advice here in the last posts is great, if you can maintain the detachedness (esp like MN's pretend he's the friendly neighbour who got you pregnant, LOL!!!!).
If you are feeling stressed on the day, consider cancelling on him. I know you are feeling in a good space today, but will it be the same next week? or tomorrow? see what I mean?
I actually think talking about forceps and placentas and breast feeding is not too super sexy and that him missing the classes is not the be and end all. I am having the same convo about H being present in the birth. He doesn't want to - i think 1. because he thinks it will distract me but i think the real reason is 2. H doesn't see me as his sexy lady anymore, he sees OW that way, and doesn't want to see me in an intimate space. I reckon that birth can't be pretty, and I'm not sure I want to instill a vision of me as "mother" instead of "wife/hot babe", lol!
