Last week, K and I (and L, indirectly) finished our last birthing class. I’d really recommend to anyone considering starting a family taking such a class. Not only did we learn quite a bit about the birthing process and what we can expect (in about six weeks now), but more importantly, that knowledge has put both K and me at ease (to a degree) about the whole process.
I always had visions of rushing to the hospital in almost-complete pandemonium, because who knows when that baby will make its way out. I knew it couldn’t be that simple, but having never really been close to the birthing process, the lack of experiential knowledge did nothing to dislodge fully my sit-com visions of the Big Day.
