I'm beginning to question whether I should have signed up for these childbirth classes we've been going to. At class last night, Bev, the nurse who teaches the class, was going over when to call the doctor when you think you might be in labor and then she started telling us when you should call the doctor after you've gone home after the birth of the baby. THAT was scary. She was talking about symptoms we could encounter with our breasts and also things that can happen down below. And she was very graphic! I think that talk made me more scared of having the baby than the actual fear of labor pains! I cannot even repeat some of the stuff she mentioned because it is just too disgusting to share on my blog.
Fortunately, we did eventually get off that topic and we learned some relaxation techniques and some exercises that are supposed to help us push when we're in labor. I think the class is helpful, but so far, it hasn't made me any less scared about having a baby!
