Tonight we had our second prenatal class. It was actually quite nice.
1. Sean got to give me a back massage... and I got to give him one, too.
2. Sean got to give me a hand massage... and I got to give him one, too.
3. I got to practice pushing my pelvis up on all fours... and Sean didn't have to.
4. I got to sit on a birthing ball... and Sean did, too.
We are in agreeance... we're buying one of those balls for our house. We may have to get two though. I have a feeling it will be fought over more than the remote control. Ha!
A few observations from our night in class...
1. The high school girl in our class liked the ball the best.
2. The PE teacher from Ankeny that is due the same day as me is super small... I may be *ahem* a tad jealous of her.
3. The woman who sat in front of me was wearing boxers... wonder why I know this? Refer back to #3 above... there are just some things that a pregnant women and her husband should not have to do in a room with other pregnant women and their "partners".
4. Our instructor suggested ways to increase our chances for labor to start. Several of you may know where I'm heading with this comment... she said eat a certain kind of pizza in bed and ya know... but be careful because it could get messy.
Really? Do I need to hear this from some random woman while sitting in a room full of strangers? I don't think so.
Next week's topics: more comfy positions on the birthing ball and learning about medications to help with the pain. WOOT!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!
