Last night was our first (out of three) childbirth prep classes at Presby Matthews! We weren't really sure what to expect.. we had heard mixed reviews like "all they do is tell you to get an epidural" and "they show really gross videos!" To our surprise, it was actually neither! Other than the length of the class (2.5 hours!!!) we didn't walk away with any complaints, but rather a LOT of good information. During this first class, we covered early labor signs, when to go to the hospital, the stages of labor, what your husband aka "birthing coach" can do to help you through it all and we started constructing our "bag of tricks."These are tools that we can try when we are in labor to help ease pain, promote comfort, reduce stress and help the labor progress. It was really helpful !! I warned Justin that he's got a hard job ahead of him!
ETA: less than 8 weeks!
