Prenatal Classes

Well, we can check another task off our to-do list. Today we attended the fast track birthing class at Mercy. We both found it very informative, we've been told by other first time parents or parents-to-be that they thought the class was pointless or it scared them or everything will go in one ear and out the other - well I'm sure you don't remember everything or even any of it when your actually in labor! I thought it was great and I think it was really eye opening for Ben. It tells you signs that you are in labor, when to call the Dr. and when to go to the hospital and birth plans and meds. and all sorts of stuff.

We also got to tour the birthing suites, which are huge and really nice. Then we got to go see the nursery, which is sooo cute. They told dad's where to drop mom off and where to park and all of that stuff that we didn't know and now we're glad we do!

All-in-all we both thought it was great and it prepared us a little for what's to come and what to do.
