A Busy Couple of Days

The past two nights, Mel and I had pregnancy classes to attend at Saint Luke's Hospital. Tuesday night's class was "Pathways to Birth" and last night's class was "Comfort Skills for Labor." The class last night had a lot of good ideas for helping with pain during labor and ideas for how to get labor moving along. Hopefully what we learned in that class will come in handy in just over one month. Tuesday night's class showed us ways that labor can be induced. We also saw a video of a baby being delivered by cesarean section. I thought I'd have a hard time watching a real surgery on the monitor, but it wasn't too bad to watch on the TV.
