On Saturday Adam and I attended a Childbirth class at the
hospital that we are going through. It
was a pretty long day, but it was very informative and we learned a lot.
We learned all about the stages of labor, we got to watch
several videos of births (much to Adam’s enjoyment), learned breathing techniques,
and comfort measures. We even got a
certification for going. So that means
that we’re all set for the labor pains, right?
Probably not.
Everything we heard this weekend was all about how we cannot really be
prepared for labor and we shouldn’t have a plan. Well if you know me, you know I’m a planner,
so not planning how my labor will go is hard, but really I’ll know nothing
until it happens, so we’ll just have to see.
Let me just say that I’ve decided that I don’t want to use
any pain medications, the goal will be to go totally natural. And while I was watching the video of the
births I just kept thinking that I hope I’m not as wimpy and whiny as the women
in the video. I know that sounds awful,
but it is true!
We’ll just see how it goes.
It should be interesting. Good
thing I have a couple months before I have to experience that!
