Hello Friends & Family--
Well we've survived (and I say survived loosely) another parenting class. Mind you these classes are 2.5 hours long and in small classrooms with VERY uncomfortable chairs! Needless to say it makes it very difficult for a pregnant woman to stay focused.
Normally the 2nd session is a tour of the hospital birthing center, but we are still off so they switched around our classes. Next week we should have a fun update with what our first impression of Meriter Hospital is. I'm very excited as we also get to speak to an anesthesiologist. Many may not know, but I'm leaning towards NOT getting an epidural so I'd like some more insight.
Back to the class. The 2nd class was about making decisions and labor practices. All good stuff to know! I'd say that a majority of the information was something I've already read about, but it's nice to have a reiteration. They had us watch another 1980's video on cesarean births. I guess I'm just a little frustrated that we are taking a 6 week course and I'm not learning anything new. Oh and to top it of our instructer is just a bit to much for my liking. She uses note cards, doesn't make me very assured that she knows what she's teaching.
We spent the last 1/2 an hour of class learning different coping mechanisms during labor. Chris was very eager to try the rolling pin & paint roller on my back--figures! They said laughter is very important, and I have no doubt that Chris will awesome at this!
Love,
Chris, Amber & Baby Z
