Well we just completed our first 2 1/2 hour hypnobirthing class, and we were VERY happy with it!!!! Our instructor is Stacy Greenberg. A Jew, a very good start we feel, lol.... She was extremely nice!! We first went through some terminology... A) they are surges or waves, NOT CONTRACTIONS!!! Our muscles are opening and stretching not getting smaller.... B)Kegels (Or Kugels as Keith commonly refers to them) are better known as Pelvic Floor Exercises... And our favorite.... Pizza and chinese food are delivered our baby is being birthed, not delivered. :-)
We then watched SEVERAL videos of hypnobirthings.... AMAZING!!! Moms and Dads were ALL calm and relaxed and the babies were also very calm... We are so very excited about this experience!!! We are even more overjoyed to be sharing this experience with all of you!
We ended the class with breathing techniques to help bring us into a calm and peaceful state... We did some exercises to show just how strong our minds are too. And finally we even broke out the birthing ball (ok its a Pilate's ball, but its still gonna help with labor.)
Our next class is Monday night. We have 80 more pages to read by then and a homework assignment to complete. That's all for now. Thanks for following the blog and we will add more as things develop!!!
Luv to you all,
Missie and Keith
