Craig and I attended our first "Preparing for Childbirth" class. I really like the instructor and overall the information was interesting. Then there was the birth video. I wonder if this video could be a prerequisite for teenagers.. anyone really... even remotely thinking about having a baby or taking the chance to get pregnant. I've watched "The Baby Story" and I've seen the anguished mother's faces, but trust me - this video puts it all to shame. I know the end result is amazing and well worth it, but holy crap! And no one tells you that you basically give birth twice - once to an adorable baby (after is all cleaned up) and then to the awful placenta! That thing looked as big if not bigger than the baby in the video. I'm officially scarred.... and scared!
I will have to say the 30 min of back massages from my husband was worth the torture of the video! I'm going to relish that part of the class every week.
