1st night of birthing class - Good time

cdc1982 · March 2010

We started our childbirth classes last night. I have to say, we enjoyed it! Last night was mostly just an overview of things but we did get some useful info & watched a video about 3rd tri (Pregnancy for Dummies video, lol!).

The instructor is a 23yr L&D nurse. The classes offered at the hospital are taught by nurses taht have never worked in L&D before. A bunch of doctors didn't like what was/wasn't being taught & asked her years ago if she would do a class. Together with the docs, they put together the 4 sessions to cover everything they felt you really should know before going into labor. She's really laid back & fun which makes the class itself go by quick.

Next week we have to take in a pillow & blanket because we'll work on lamaze & talk in depth about what might happen in the delivery room.

I am so over my birthing class. Half the class just sit here and says nothing when asked a question. There are just a few of us who answer and half the time she tells us we are wrong... Bring a blanket with lots of padding, our floow is very hard, I would also bring two pillows....
