Child Birthing Class

Yesterday, Chuck and I attended our child birthing class in Valparaiso. It was from 9:00am to 4:00pm with about a 45 minute lunch in the middle. We had recieved some really great information and learned relaxation and breathing techniques! This class, more than ever, has given me the confidence to have a natural birth. With the techniques learned and knowing all of my options, it almost seems like it is the only way to go for me. Of course, I know not everything goes as planned during labor, but if possible, I know what my IDEAL birthing plan would be. The day was a great bonding experience for the two of us, and I know Chuck is going to make the most wonderful coach! I am actually somewhat looking forward to labor. I know it's going to hurt and be a long day, but in reality, it is just one day of pain. After that, you have your precious baby!
