Monday was our baby prep class. We went over transition labor and pushing. Coaches were told to not leave moms when in transition phase because labor can happen really fast at this point and moms tend to be disoriented. So if you want to do anything like eat or pee it should be done before mom reaches 6cm. We also watched a movie on natural childbirth and I got really discouraged because she was in labor over 28 1/2hr. After the movie, we spent a lot of time with breathing. We practiced what we have learned so far and added two more techniques. Lori also should us two techniques for effective pushing and one for when you have the urge to push but its not time yet so you need to stall. We also played a game called yes, no, or maybe, where Lori asked a questions and dads had to go to the side of the room they thought mom would go, then moms went to the correct sign for them. She basically wanted us to start talking about things we would like to have happen during and after the delievery. Then we switched and it was the guys turn. Our homework for this week is to pack our labor bags and bring them in to see what other people plan on bringing. Plus thats one less thing on my list.
