Tonight Doug and I had our first of four Lamaze class at the hospital. It was amazing! The nurse that teaches it is so educated and so blunt about child birth. Tonight we went over some slow breathing techniques to help during contractions. She also taught all the partners how to help with back labor/pain. This class is giving me so much confidence for labor...I'm am so pumped to do it! Doug is going to do great too. I have so much faith in him as my coach. I know I'll be able to do this with out an epidural.

I don't think I've commented on your blog yet - I saw the link on facebook. That's so awesome that you're going for it without an epidural! When we get pregnant with our first little one, I definitely want to try and go that route, too. And you're just gorgeous with that cute little baby bump. You're seriously going to be one cute mama.
ReplyDeleteWOW NO EPIDURAL!!?? Please let me know how this goes?! My spine is fused together from back surgery, so I'm pretty sure I can't have an epidural when we have kids & I kind of freak out about it every time I think about it!
ReplyDeleteI have no faith in Doug;) I hope he proves me wrong! But if I can do it anyone can, you know I'm a big baby!!:)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Ashley.. Put your mind to it and stick by your birth plan. All natural is amazing. Remind yourself that for years it was the only way to birth... And if you get a few hours into it- and decide its not your thing- don't be afraid to ask for something. all that really matters is mom n baby are healthy at the end of it all:-) if you want any hypno birthing b tips.. hit me up... Love u..... Lynne
