Eric and I went to Lamaze class this weekend. I think we were both a bit disappointed with the class. I wanted to learn more about breathing techniques for me and coaching techniques for Eric. The class spent maybe 30 minutes on this portion. The rest was spent on telling stories and going through the birthing process.
We did learn some awesome back rub techniques, which were so good. I hope that Eric can practice them lots in the next couple of weeks! They also told us that new way to breathe through the hard contractions is like blowing out a birthday candle. Not sure I feel more prepared though to go through this labor after this class!

I didn't dig the classes either...and the breathing and ball didn't seem to help me much (I clearly must have been doing something wrong) The epidural however was magnificent. :) Just wait and see how it goes, you'll figure out what to do.
