11/5/07 - Our Last Childbirth Prep Class is Done We finished our childbirth classes tonight with Dina... there were some good laughs... the notables...
Matty's face when he read the emergency birth instructions on how to deliver a baby in explicite detail (which is hanging on our fridge by strict orders from the midwfe).
The explantion of how to deal with meconium for the first few days, that we have dubbed "tar poop."
Then the explanation that breastmilk poop is actually supposed to look like that and she even offered us pictures so we wouldn't get freaked out when we saw it.
Telling us to keep a supply of cabbage in the house which she swore would cure any boob pain.
The numerous pictures of the "birth art" that couples had made from the Birthing From Within book we had to read.
And of course her telling me she is proud that I bought "big girl" underwear. |
