So far mum has been to five appointments where she's been quizzed about all sorts of personal (and non relevant) data. Also, at each one mum has been given enough pamphlets to wallpaper the entire house. This wouldn't be so bad if they were different but each has exactly the same text and is written as if you have an IQ of 20.
On top of that, each medical practitioner (nurse, doctor, assistant, elevator operator, etc) constantly repeats the text in earnest as is if it was the first time you could possibly have heard of this.
Just to give you a flavour of the way they do it, here is a transcript.
Nurse - Have you thought about breast feeding?
Mum - Yes, I'll do that if I am physically able to. (thinking this is the end of questioning)
Nurse - Breast feeding is good because.......(blah blah blah)
Mum - Yes, I intend to breast feed. (again, thinking end of lecture)
Nurse - Breast feeding is beneficial for you as well..... (blah blah blah)
Mum - ok. (clearly annoyed at being treated like an idiot and not being listened to)
Nurse - That baby benefits are .... (blah blah blah)
Mum - ok. (very annoyed)
Nurse - It's also cost effective.... (blah blah blah)
Mum - mmmmm
Nurse - So, what does your partner think of breast feeding?
Mum - (clearly bored with this and extremely annoyed) He wants me to.
Nurse - It's important that the father is supportive of breast feeding.... (blah blah blah).... Here is a pamphlet which you can read at home. (note pamphlet has exactly what was said by nurse to the letter)
Nurse - So, have you thought about where you're going to give birth?
Mum - (groans and resigns herself to another set of lectures)
Only another 7 months to go.
