During our second class we learned about what pain medications are available for labor. Then we watched a video about Epidurals. They actually showed an anesthesiologist put the needle in the ladies’ back and I couldn’t look. I thought I was going to pass out or throw up. For some reason thinking about an epidural makes me way more anxious than thinking about the pain of delivery. I told Seth I think the word catheter is one of the most disturbing words in the English Language.
After the video, we covered relaxation techniques and she walked us through a series of massages. Ahhhhh! To be fair we traded back and forth. We also talked about how he could support me during labor (specific things to say and things not to say).
Finally we discussed labor positions that could be helpful for labor. I already knew some of them because of the Prenatal Yoga class I’ve been taking. Now, if only I can remember them when I’m in pain!
After class Seth said he really feels like Courtney needs to be in the room with me also.
