I had my 2nd lamaze class tonight and afterwards we got to do a tour of the birthing rooms, the nursery, and the post partum rooms. Even tho i'm not delivering at the hospital we're taking the classes out, we still went. I'm also gonna tour the hospital that i'm delivering at when I go down for my next level 2 ultrasound in 3 weeks.

We saw several laboring woman. It made me sooo jealous, I wanna have owen now! Lol

there was a newborn baby boy in the nursery that was just born, weighing in at 10lb 13oz lol I feel soooo bad for that mom!!

Amanda and owen

I'm not even gonna take those classes...

Even if I wanted too..Which I dont...I'm a little late. My doctor told me to sign up back when I was 20 something weeks because I wouldnt be able to get into a class for atleast a month. Haha - a month from now I might have my baby boy!

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but I thought that lamaze was just for women who were having natural birth without any kind of pain relief (i.E. Epidural). I thought they taught you how to breath through the contractions so they don't hurt.

Lamaze is more about what happens during the labor/birth process than anything anymore. You learn the stages of labor, what your body goes through. You also learn about all the pain meds available, what happens when you go into the hospital in labor, how to register, massage to help you relax until you can get pain meds (if you are). Alot of things like that. It's alotta fun being with other pregnant woman and it's been fun seeing how eric reacts when he sees that i'm not the only moody prego woman out there! Haha
