Birthing Classes

Barry and I start our next step in the process towards the birth of our child. Birthing classes! Our first class is tonight at the Peapods studio in St. Paul. We have decided to go with the Bradley Method which supports natural birth. They teach methods of relaxation and breathing that help the mother get through the labor without unnecessary medical intervention. They also do education on what happens during the process of birth so that fear of the unknown can be replaced the joy of the process. My hope is to make it through the birth of our son without drugs. The class also teaches husbands a lot of techniques to use in the delivery room to assist and really be a part of the process. I am sure Barry is soooo excited about that!
