The First “Prepared Birthing” Class
Last night was our first Prepared Birthing class at the hospital. There has got to be more to this class than what we saw last night. I mean, they went over what to expect for contractions, what the birthing process was (see below for Jesse’s reaction), and some basic relaxation techniques. Although, I have to say, if you’re going to make us practice relaxation techniques, then you should probably have us doing it on something more than what amounts to a concrete floor with a thin layer of carpet.
I think the best part of the class was watching Jesse’s reaction to the video. If you know my husband, then you also know that he had his laptop with him and was logged into IRC. Here’s the log from the video portion of last night:
[19:39] morgajel - oh man it’s movie time
[19:40] morgajel - part of me wants to scream AAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAH and run out of the room
[20:01] morgajel - ok that’s just wrong
[20:01] morgajel - OMG
[20:01] morgajel - IT’S HEAD IS STICKING OUT
[20:02] morgajel - VIDEOBAD VIDEOBAD
[20:03] morgajel - GOD THAT’S ONE UGLY BABY
[20:04] morgajel - OH GROSS
[20:04] morgajel - placenta BAD
I am a stay at home mom with my first child, sometimes wondering what I have gotten myself into. I have an amazingly supportive husband, who is also a computer geek with a slight anti-social complex.
