Make Way For Baby ~ class 1

Pat and I went to our first baby class on Sunday October 4th. We had to dress comfortable and bring pillows and a mat. We were both excited and unsure of what and who we would run across in our class. Class started at 9:30 am and we arrived at 9:20 am to an empty room with about 20 chairs in a circle. At first we thought we would be the only people in the class! But we were not, the class filled up quick and only one girl was 30 minutes late, and poor little pregnant thing, she was by herself.

Pat wasn’t scared ~ he didn’t feel weird or awkward at all! Look how natural he looks sitting there with his pillows and mat!

We learned lots of good stuff! From anatomy and vocabulary. Labor and Delivery. Stages of Labor and birth. Tips for a better labor. Coping Techniques. and More. We go again this Saturday and Sunday for part 2 and 3. Looking forward to it!

Wednesday night, I was sitting at the table reading throught the information I received from the class…. and I got my first wave of nervousness that went through my body… my teeth got numb and butterflies were in my tummy. Baby is coming soon!

Right now, my body is releasing hormones that soften the cartilage of my body, especially the pubic bone that is in front of my pelvis. Because my pelvis will expand 1 to 1 1/2 cms to help Wee Baby get out of there! I am a little more clumsy and when I do something silly, I tell Pat, “Sorry it’s my loose joints!” lol yeah… I am blaming a lot on my loose joints right now! heheheeee
