Birthing Class: Week 1

We attended our first birthing class last night. It was actually pretty fun! We had to do cheesy introductions where we tell our names, due date, boy/girl, best experience and biggest fear/concern. My best experience was filling Maddox move. My biggest concern/fear is pain of labor and birth. We did some ice breaker activities, talked about true labor vs. false labor and what to do if your water breaks at home. We also learned the Taylor sit and Taylor press and a couple of breathing techniques. The class was very informative. It was comforting to know we are not alone in our concerns or experiences. I heard comments all night and thought "me too!" and same for Donald. I'll keep you posted on experiences of upcoming classes. It's a 7 week course. By time the course ends, I'll be 3 weeks from due date! Scary!! Shower is this weekend. I'll post pictures soon.
