We had our first of 6 child birth classes last night. And it looks to be a fun class! There are 8 couples in it, so it's fairly small, which is awesome. Our instructor is very nice, and we had a good time. We talked about the anatomy of a pregnant woman and the discomforts of the 3rd trimester. We also got to get on the mats on the floor and practice some breathing excercises for labor. We laughed alot, asked questions, and got a great book full of info.
The funniest part was when our instructor passed around a chart that shows the dilation of the cervix in acutal size, from 1cm to 10cm. Tommy's reaction when he saw the 10cm one was "Whoa! That's a HUGE hole!" The class all just laughed. It was pretty funny. He's a good sport... and I hope will get lots out of this.
Next week we get to watch the video of an actual birth. I have a feeling Tommy will be a little squimish, but I think that will be all the guys in the room. It should be interesting! :)
