Boobs
If I had to describe the birthing classes we've taken so far in one word, that would be it: Boobs. Lots of them. And not the kind you pay a cover charge along with regular dollar bill donations to see either. No, these are pregnant women boobs. Pregnant women who weren't that good looking to begin with. They just pop those bad boys out in every video. Ugh!!
What brought this tirade was today's class: Breastfeeding your baby. You can imagine my excitement at that. The video for this class had entirely too much boob exposure. I know this is a class about breasts but these women were just ... "pop" ... for no reason. There were no less than 10 different women showing the world their mammary gland. There was actually one point in the video where I thought to myself, "There's no need to show her boob here ... you're not even talking about that ... you're discussing some other thing, but you have to show her exposing herself!!" I could handle the birthing videos because things aren't as ... um ... recognizable down there. I did find it strange that these women would agree to have their dillywho's shown to expecting couples all around the country, but to each their own, I guess.
This, however, was just a whole different story. I particularly did not need the instructor grabbing her boobs. I mean, this instructor was no spring chicken. But, there she'd go, grabbing em and bouncing them. This is not an image I want engrained in my mind.
Then, the instructor grabbed a felt-looking boob and SHOWED US HOW THE BABY SHOULD SUCK IT!!!!! Wasn't the extreme close-ups in the video enough? Did they find the computer animation inadequate? It's amazing how a simple setting change could affect the perception of such actions. If it were a 20 year old in a strip club grabbing and bouncing her boobs, that seems normal. But this is a 50-something women in a hospital doing this and I was none to please about it.
*sigh*
I think we have some more classes, but I have no idea. The Scheduling Committee has put me on a need to know basis, so I'll just have to wait. If we do have more classes, I can be assured of one thing. The video will have some strange, pregnant lady going "pop".
