Childbirth Preparation Class #4

Tonight was our final Childbirth Preparation class in which we covered some baby care stuff, postpartum and what to expect after childbirth and the days immediately after delivery. We spent a brief time reviewing some more relaxation techniques and that was it! We exchanged email addresses with our fellow classmates so that everyone can keep in touch and see what all these little people are going to look like in a few short weeks. It's crazy to think that a month has already passed since we first started this class. Although my pregnancy seems to be progressing slower and slower now that we are getting towards the end, in hindsight it's gone by a lot faster than I thought. John and I really enjoyed this class as it has provided us with knowledge about what we can expect. Once again, I'm sure that every childbirth experience is very different and that although we've learned all these things and have been provided with information, when it comes down to the actual event things can differ from what we've learned. At the end of the day, I think that my thoughts and desires for my delivery are very similar to when we started this class. If anything, this class has given me more comfort in what i can expect and the reality of what childbirth is all about. I haven't experienced any fear around delivery prior to taking this class and now I am reassured that I won't be fearful of what lies ahead in a few short months. If anything, I am so excited and ready to meet our little baby boy.
