Student warns teacher: Birth feels like"pooping out a bowling ball"

A primary school student wrote her expecting teacher a letter wishing her luck with the birth of her child. The girl then felt she needed to warn her teacher that giving birth feels like "pooping out a bowling ball". The teacher, Sanne Dekker who teaches 6, 7 and 8 year olds at St Jozef School in Blokker, Noord-Holland, sent the letter to Meester Mark, who posted it on their Facebook page. The letter has gotten almost 5 thousand likes. "I've heard from one person that it feels like pooping out a bowling ball and from someone else that you will die from the pain." the little girl writes. In the last sentence she reassures her teacher: "But a lot of women have been through this." "Me and my colleagues had a great laugh", Dekker said to the AD. "She undoubtedly heard these words somewhere, I do not know. But it suits her, because she really is a smart student." She assured the newspaper that she is not worried, despite the dire warnings.
