Glad you like it! I had fun with the expansion. I quite like the setting, so I might well write more about Moss Smith and her students if I can come up with another couple of lessons.
That is one of the ideas I've got. The trick is coming up with a twist on it that won't make things too repetitive, and that doesn't break any of the rules I've established in this story for how UB works in this world. I've got a general outline for a sequel, it's just a matter of working out details like that and then finding the time to write. If I do one, Sandra and Leticia will be making a reappearance as they move up to Advanced Midwifery 302 and help Glenda give birth.
Aren't there any guys that would take this course? Surely there'd be one or two who'd also want to learn about unbirth. I'd like to see how that would play out with a guy in the class.
I guess Miss Smith would regard them as just unbirth fodder but then she could test them to wheedle out the ones just there for sexual gratification and those who're there because they want to be unbirthed. Although those could be welcomed with open arms. I'd just like to see how a young man wanting to learn about the subject would try to manage with a class full of girls, sometimes naked, sometimes unbirthing, and any attempts made to get them to 'join in' or if indeed how they could help out and avoid getting unbirthed.
Oh, she teaches classes for guys, but this one's a practical "learn how to do it yourself" sort, which they couldn't really participate in. I'm not sure whether I'll write a story about her mixed-gender classes or not, it's not something I'd given much thought to.

excellent! I like the little tweaks to the first short story, and love the expansion and new material. Fantastic storytelling as always!

well, there is always the unbirthing of a pregnant woman as is hinted for higher classes

I love this story. You actually had a huge impact on how I write unbirth in my stories and how I see the mechanics playing out.

I'm glad to hear that you like it, and flattered that I've influenced your own work.
