Guide to Giving Birth

We had our first of five birthing classes. Apparently, the birth rate really is down, and there are not a lot of spring babies, so there were only seven couples in the class. Hubby was excited that one of the couples is expecting twins! The gist of what we learned in the first session is covered in this article, Labor Day Primer: Your Guide to Giving Birth. We also watched several videos, including a natural birth and delivery by a midwife. Hubby and I were surprised at how long "early labor" lasted...! eegh. Our homework for the week is to get the yoga ball ready, practice breathing and get the music list picked out.
