Baby Prep Class #2


Last night was class number two of our baby prep classes. We had a quick review of last weeks info and then we got started. We went over early labor and what to except during that stage such as the time and length of contractions, reactions, and what you should be doing to prepare. Basically if there's something you what to do before you go to the hospital like shower, here's your last chance. We continued with active labor and went over the same info as well and also when to start heading toward the hospital. Afterwards we watched two birthing movies. One with a mom that got an epidural and one with a mom that thought she wanted a natural child birth and ended up taking meds. As with last class we ended with breathing techniques but this time we added birthing positions. Some I liked a lot and others I just couldn't get comfortable at all. I loved the yoga ball. It was the first time in weeks that my back wasn't hurting. Holmes Regional carries a couple of them but Lori told us that if its something we really like we should get one of our own so you know you'll have it. Clay wanted to take me to Walmart last night to go get one. That way I would comfortable at night such as when we watch tv.
