Important update from this boutique weekend antenatal class…

I broke my pelvis🫣

Before anyone panics, it was the pelvic model, not my actual pelvis.

After 20+ years of teaching birth education, running classes, demonstrating labour positions, and passing this poor pelvis around hundreds of times… this weekend was apparently the time it decided it had finally done enough.

There was no dramatic snap or chaos.

Just a quiet little moment where I realised parts of the pelvis were no longer attached to other parts of the pelvis.

Honestly, it felt very symbolic of parenting and birth preparation in general - sometimes things fall apart unexpectedly and you just carry on while laughing.

The class handled it beautifully, and thankfully everyone found it as amusing as I did.

So now I’m officially in the market for a new pelvis.

Requirements include:

• educational

• durable

• emotionally resilient

• capable of surviving antenatal classes🤣

If anyone knows of a pelvic model built like a tank, let me know.
