Baby Classes
Childbirth classes were very interesting and scary. Friday night, I was terrified! Saturday was better. I learned everything I need to know about labor and delivery. Savannah has to come out, so I guess now i*m more prepared. I don*t know if I want an epidural, I think I want to see how it goes. Everyone keeps saying to get the epidural, so we*ll see what happens. Robert and I learned massage techniques to help labor go smoother. Robert got an awesome back massage, I didn*t. He wanted to play around. I think when it comes to the actual time, it will be better. Monday night I went to breastfeeding classes. It was also very interesting and stressful. I feel like a lot of pressure is put on a woman to breastfeed and once I go back to work, I don*t know how everything is going to work out with pumping. It will be a tough decision to make once Savannah is here. I also know that I have Robert*s support on whatever happens. He asked me last night when we can start with a bottle, whether breastfeeding or formula so he can help. He*s such an awesome man! Wednesday night was infant cpr and caring for your baby. This was the most fun class. I hope I never have to use infant cpr on Savannah, but now i*m prepared. The classes made me ready to meet Savannah even more. I can*t wait to meet her and be her mommy!

It is great you are taking all of these classes to prepare for birth! Moms who do have a lot more tools. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a free book you can download with the Top Three Tips to Enjoy Your Birth. One of them is to educate your self, which it sounds like you are doing. Great job!
As for the breastfeeding just set some short term goals, like 2 weeks or 6 weeks and then go from there.
