Seventh month, third trimester, 25th week. 103 days or 15 weeks to go. I think the two months to go is the part that makes it most in your face real feeling.
Last night we had our first natural birthing class. I expected the class to be mostly about breathing and relaxing and such. The midwife teaching the class started by saying that you already know how to breath and it would be boring to try to teach it to you.
So she discussed things like procedures, hormones, relaxing, the drugs they use and their side effects,the importance of bonding in the first hour. Also some breast feeding stuff, videos of live births in all full graphic detail, and water births. Being a natural child birthing class it was about no drugs, but actually she says there is a place for that when needed but the doctors have gone a little crazy with them.
