Okay so last night was our first childbirthing class, we have 2 more to go to....and let me say that I am terrified of birth. I am starting to wonder if I can actually do this. We practiced a lot of breathing and massage techniques for when you are in labor, but when the teacher stated that the average amount of time a woman is in labor is 16 hours, I just about died. Then we watched a woman give birth in the video and I just about got sick....man the guys get of so easy when it comes to having a child. I know that I have to give birth, Jacob can't stay in forever and at the end of the class we did part of our hospital tour and saw a whole bunch of babies in the nursery....so I know it will all be okay and so worth it.....but I am still very nervous. I hope it gets better the closer I get.....
Update on me: I went to the doctor on monday and my blood pressure is still high after I walk a short distance...after a minute of sitting it comes back down, but my doctor wants this under control so my meds have been doubled. I go back in a week and a half (9/22) to have my blood pressure checked again and to have my 1 hour glucose test, which I am not looking forward to.
