Breathing and Relaxation Class
Paul and I opted to attend a Breathing and Relaxation class to help us prepare for labor and delivery. There were 5 other couples there, and our due dates ranged from early November until February. Not only did all of the couples know the sex of their babies, they had also already chosen names! The class was informative and helpful. I think we may utilize some of the stress-relieving measures we were shown. I will say, however, that it is not helpful to watch a video of women, who are in labor. Watching people in pain makes me want to vomit. I think it's better to deal with what comes than to anticipate the worst. After all, women have been doing this for thousands of years, right?
I agree - your body will tell you what to do! I have to admit I kind of hyperventilated even with the breathing class. Honestly, after you're fully dilated it's a breeze (well in my experience). Great to know everyone is doing so great!! Can't wait to see you guys soon!! Hugs all around.
