Wow

So, we successfully attended our first Bradley birthing class. Our instructor is new so there is only one other couple in the class. I think we are going to like it a lot! However, we watched a video that was a little out there. First, I have never seen so many babies being born in one sitting. I have even seen the real thing and it didn't compare to this video montage of births we witnessed. It may be because Bradley does not teach the traditional on your back birthing method (which is one of the worst positions to deliver a child through) that it looked so strange to me. We also saw a couple water births and it made me sad that it is not an option for me, my hospital doesn't do them.

We also have learned 5 different exercises to help strengthen and stretch the pelvic area for better birthing. It scares me to think that one day in the not too far future I will be birthing a child. No matter if I practice every detail of what I am learning or ignore it all, I still will be giving birth in one form or another very soon!
