Childbirth class

We started our 3 part series Childbirthing class at the hospital last week. It's a nice class. We reviewed the stages of labor last week and Steve got to see a live birth on video (only a short version of crowning and delivery). He didn't pass out, which was a good sign. Then this week we talked about every possible intervention that they could do in the labor/delivery period. That was a little intimidating, hearing about all the stuff you don't want to see or have done (forceps, vacuum, internal monitors, etc). I've decided my birth plan will be short and sweet: "Get the baby out as naturally as possible with the least number of interventions necessary for a safe delivery of a healthy baby and mommy." I want to be totally flexible to whatever happens, but also not do things that are unnecessary. Steve agrees. Next week the class is talking about baby care and a pediatrician is coming to talk, but Steve has to go to Atlanta for work so I think I will skip out. I don't want to be a single pregnant lady in the midst of 6 other pregnant couples. Next class, Infant/Child CPR next Saturday.
