Birthing Class

Yesterday Aaron and I had our birthing class at the hospital. I thought the class was good. I really understand now what exactly happens to the body and the process of labor, which I hope will help with getting through the labor. We practiced breathing techniques and meditation, which I like to think might help me through the pain. I plan to try this techniques, though some people think it won't help in any way with all the pain I'll experience. Regardless, I plan to keep positive and do whatever I can to get through it all. Some suggestions that we saw in the videos are it helps to move positions a lot. I plan to try that and rest a lot before the big day, which may help with going into labor sooner and also, being fully rested will help with getting through the marathon of pushing (as the instructor compared it to). We also got a tour of the maternity ward of where I'll be delivering, recovering and staying. I think after this class I'm feeling much more ready for Nathan's arrival. Just need to finally get the nursery ready and I think we'll be ready, as ready as we'll ever be at least!
