Week 2 and 3 of Childbirth Class

We've had 2 more childbirth classes now.  Our second week, we learned all about labor.  We learned about the different stages of labor and how to use breathing and massage to help us with the pain.  This class just confirmed my decision to get an epidural as early as possible!  This week, we learned all about the different medical interventions.  We saw all the different monitors that will be used and many that I hope will not have to be used (i.e. forceps, vacuums).  I am glad we signed up for these classes, as it has definitely helped me prepare for what is to come.  But I won't lie, as we attend each class, the more and more nervous I get. Next week we learn about C-sections (something I hope I don't have to get) and we take the very exciting tour of the hospital.  Shawn is attending a new daddy boot camp class tonight, so I am excited to hear what all he learns.
