Birth Classes

This weekend we started our two weekend series of birth classes. I was not optimistic that the classes would be useful; I thought they would be full of lame breathing exercises that only advocated natural labor (despite all my 5th grade DARE training I will not be saying no to drugs) and techniques that would never work. To my surprise the class was actually pretty useful. Instead of hee-hees and who-whos the class taught a lot of relaxation and massage, plus filled us in on how labor works. While it was a little scary (they showed some videos, one that made me squirm) I feel a tiny bit better about the process.

Next weekend, the empathy belly........I'll be sure to post pictures :)
