To hapless spouses of first time pregnant women everywhere:
It does not behoove you to complain about giving up four Saturdays over a forty week period to attend some childbirthing and don't kill the baby classes. Especially when pregnant spouse has actively encouraged you to go out with mutual friends, continue playing the sports that you love, pushed you to get exercise and spend time with your parents and siblings and essentially done everything within her limited power to make sure that you continue to maintain some sense of normality during a highly abnormal period of time. You sacrificed four Saturdays. Your spouse, on the other hand, has sacrified her physical being and emotional sanity. She wins. Stop being a jerk.
