And it was so scary! At first they bring you into this really nice room with nice music playing and pictures displayed of happy mothers with their newly born infant, and you start to think to yourself, "Well this isn't so bad, child birth seems pleasant and quite euphoric!" Then they begin the presentation with some facts about labor and you then say, "Well, sounds painful, but honey, we'll be able to make it through this together!"
Oh, that's when they get you! Cuddled up all cozy and nice, they say, "Hey, lets watch a video!" I love videos! How am I supposed to oppose a video? BIG MISTAKE!
It starts out with just the good ol' simple computer graphics to show you the child's movement during labor, but then the real graphic stuff begins and all of a sudden, you are left with no exits in the room and only the mercy of your two hands to hide what you are now witnessing as they actually display babies being born and the intense "stretch" that accompanies it. Umm, why didn't they show this to me before I got pregnant? (Not to say that I wouldn't have a child still) But I am sure if you showed this to a bunch of under age girls, we would have a lot less teen pregnancies!
Anyways, needless to say, Lamaze class was an experience in and of itself and I can honestly say that I don't want a mirror when it comes time to deliver! I am really excited for the result of it all, but the process just seems so terrifying! I had dreams about it last night and I don't know if they will stop till he is born! I could even feel the pain in my dream!

You've got to start watching "A Baby Story" on TLC to get you really prepared. You get the full birthing picture when you watch that. Just don't watch it afterwards because you'll find yourself breathing and even pushing along with the women in labor. Good luck!
this brings back memories of watching the miracle of birth in 10th grade health class. I thought I might die. But its worth the pain.. right?? That swimsuit was Karly's and I think it was Juicy and she got it from Nordstroms... I personally am waiting for it to show up at the Rack ha!

I know what you mean. Our birthing class last night was on complications, and let me tell you, that class is the worst. I am just hoping, praying and visualizing a normal birth. Can't wait to see you three in October!
