09-7-2008 - Child birth class

My mood while writing this blog:
relaxed

Well last night we had our 1st child birth class. I was shocked that there were so many other pregnant women there. It was alright.... the lady just went over how important nutrition is, told some birthing stories, asked questions and then we had to watch a video at the end which i'm pretty sure scard me for life... more than my husband! I really thought the class would be much different..... i guess thats from watching too much tv... but i was a little disappointed. Hopefully next time will be better!

But let me tell you this video OMG!!! They say childbirth is suppose to be beautiful.... okay well maybe when the baby is finally out and they give the baby to you in a blanket... yes to me thats beautiful! I have littlerally seen now how huge the vagina gets when that baby comes out.... oh and i mean a close up!!!! The lady said now remember this is beautiful so dont be scared..... um ...... okay i just dont feel that way... my vagina still hurts from just watching! I have thought this whole time i wanted to go natural..... i'm thinking NO from now on! It does really scare me cuz (this is probably too much information but whatever were all women) my husband and i havent even been able to have sex since right at the beginning of my pregnancy because it hurts way too much ... so to think about the size of baby coming out.... OUCH! So i go to the doctor next week and i will definitly be asking a lot of questions!

My back is finally feeling better... for the most part! My goal is to get out of the house today cuz i am going stir crazy being here all day with not much to do! So we will see what i can come up with cuz i'm not a fan of shopping and having to drag the boys with me!

LOL Nice, yeah seeing my sister's labour up close, literally, has scarred me as well!! Okay, everything was all good.. contarctions were tough, but then she was given the okay to have an epidural like halfway through the labour, and that was good... but then.. as my niece is coming out.. I'm watching, it's so crazy, you could see the head, and then SNIP! The doctor straight up CUT her down there to make it bigger, I was like EHHHHH! So yes, that is the painful memory (LoL, even though it wasn't me) that I have of that delivery. She didn't seem to notice though, probably thanks to the epidural.. which is why I am considering strongly too to have one, especially after I recalled that! I'm thinking if I do it naturally, then I would probably feel that cut if they have to do it. I forget the "coreect term" for it, like episo-mething but I read that they are "reconsidering having to always do it"- just now? I guess it's better then some crazy tear happening,, my mom says it's so they have an easier time stitching us back up. Bleh, enough about it, I'm going to go cringe under the covers now. Gooodluck to everyone next few weeks!

Im glad that Im not the only one feeling uncomfortable having sex because it kind of hurts...or it just feels weird for some reason...just thinking that I have a baby growing inside me just makes me feel like im hurting the baby...I know a friend last year that after having sex with her husband in the 5th month started to bleed and had to bed rest all the way till the end and also had a preme...So I used to think of that a lot but we take it easy and my husband has to get me really horny for me to like having sex....Im getting a epidural for sure ...cant stand any pain so what ever I have to take...Good luck to you :)

Oh my goodness you crack me up. Weird thing is me and my hubby were just talking about how much your vagina stretches when having the baby, ect. I think I want to try and have the baby natural but Im starting to think an epidural is ok too (ha ha). My husband wants me to have an epidural because he watches TLC when Im not home and see what really happens (ha ha) . Sex is uncomfortable for me too which is weird because it never was before I got pregnant. I just told my husband last night...if sex hurts how it is it going to feel when a baby comes out of there (ahhhh). Then I have to quit thinking about it because we have to do it. I refuse to be pregnant forever. I know it will all be worth it. Im sure the classes will get better. Keep me up to date. I cant wait to sign up for mine in another month or so. Take care and try to have a little fun today. =)
