Child Birth Classes session #2

Tonight Eric and I went to our second child birth class with Donna our instructor and two other couples. Tonight we focused on comfort measures during labour such as breathing and positions to rest in and/or massage (ahhhh). There are many excellent ways to help cope with the pain; my favorites were having a shower, hand massage and hip pressure or pushing on the pelvis to help ease the constant expanding. She also gave us information breathing, long and relaxed or short styles. We had lots of laughs and really enjoyed the session, we feel grateful to have learned so much already, well worth it for such a reasonable price. The other couples are Erin and Frasier and Jeff and Krystine, both very nice. Looking forward to next week!! We have also asked Donna informally to be our Doula or labour coach, and she is waiting on another couple but will most likely be doula for both of us (keep your fingers crossed), more to come on that topic.....
