We started our Labor and Delivery class last night - YEAH - and are now getting all the hands-on practical info we need to prepare us for the Big Event. The class we chose is focused on the Bradley Method of providing tools and coping mechanisms to help empower mothers to deliver through natural childbirth, and will also cover what to expect if an epidural or C-section becomes necessary. We chose to take a private class, so our class involves 3 one-on-one sessions with our instructor (Kim Collins) held in our home, each lasting roughly 2.5 hours.
Last night's class was great. We talked for a while about what to expect during labor and delivery, watched a movie of a labor and delivery using natural childbirth/waterbirth methods, and practiced some pain coping mechanisms, including gaining some insight into which methods work best for Jenny specifically. All in all, it was a very productive and informative night. We can't wait for Class #2 next week!

I wish the two of you the best. I know I damn near needed an epidural just to get through the birthing movies.

My sister-in-law Beth was impressed when she heard you were using the Bradley method. She's a big fan of it. Good luck with your last class!
