Stan and I started our birthing classes on Monday. We had a great time laughing at the instructor. I have to admit it was pretty awkward but I kept reminding myself that I am taking the class to try to educate Stan and I on all of the steps we will need to know (which we will prob. forget on the day). I had been getting myself worked up about childbirth so I think it will be good for me to learn some techniques to deal with the earlier stages that way if there are any delays in my epidural I will have something to distract me. It is also good to have a base knowledge on what to expect and what process my body is going through. The good thing about the class is there are no judgements for people who plan to take the medication. I am just saying I pay a lot for health insurance and so I need to be rewarded with maximum health care.
Anyways back to the class, we learned a lot about the features Howard County General offers to a birthing mother like rocking chairs, bath tubs (if your amniotic sac has not already broken), mirrors, etc. I was pretty glad to hear all about the stuff we can use so I can have a better picture. Other than that we learned some poses and how to time our contractions. I think it will help Stan to keep things under control so I am glad we registered even though it is pretty boring and awkward.
