Childbirth Class (session 1)

So last night we had our first session of our childbirth classes. there were supposedly 12 couples signed up, but only 10 showed last night. short introductions including due date and how we're feeling, followed by 2 hours of learning about the signs of labor and what to expect in the first stage of labor, physically and emotionally. then for the last 5 minutes, we had to lie on the floor and listen to relaxation exercises. not very relaxing.

i would say most people were probably around our age, 25-27ish, though they sure looked older. there were about 3 women due before us, one at the end of November, two in early December. one is due a day after us and the rest were at the end of December and early January.

next class is a birth video and learning to push. sounds a bit more interesting than this one.
