Labor Class...

So tonight Charles and I were prepared to take Isadora to a "Sibling Rehersal" class where they learn to change diapers, feed babies and other little things. Little did we know that we were to drop her off and go to a Labor class. No big deal really, but we weren't prepared since we didn't know. Since this is our second baby, we weren't really going to get any information out of it, but wow, it was hilarious.

First they went over everything like a normal class would, showed a video, went over what to put in our hospital bags, ect. She showed us a few massages, and then it begun, lol. She gave each couple a clothes pin and had the moms attach the clothes pin to the back of the dad's or partners arm, the most sensitive spot. She then had them keep it there for 30 seconds, then again for 60. This was to show them the pain in contractions. Although Charles said it didn't hurt, as soon as he tried to pinch me with it, I was backing away, lol.

Next came the checking out our labor and delivery and postpartum rooms. The instructor had the men up on the bed! Crazy. She had one guy lie down and two others hold his legs, and even around his stomach was the heart monitors, she then asked him to push....lol. She made him change to his side, and push, she pulled out a squat bar and had him push, and then had him get on all fours to push. It was by far the best and funest birth class ever.

I just wanted to share a fun experience with everyone. When we took a class for Isadora it was by far the worst and longest 2 hours EVER, this was def. something to remember, I only wish we had a camera with us (It was in the car actually). In the end, we picked up Isadora and she got a certificate saying she completed her "Sibling Rehersal" class, and a sticker saying she was a big sister, some goodies and they even made a welcome home mommy and baby card that she got to color. :)

It was a pretty fun evening:)
