Childbirth class 1

Last night Brian and I attended our first in a set of 3 childbirth classes. Imust admit that I didn't want to be there and I certainly didn't want to see a video of child birth. The instructor was wonderful, though, and the class was very informal, which I liked. Here are a few things I learned in class:

• Despite well meaning people who comment on how big my stomach is getting, I am actually average/smaller than average - though this doesn't make me feel any less of a whale.
  
• We really need to choose a pediatrician ASAP
• We really need to get our car seat ASAP because I could deliver at ANY MOMENT! ACK!
• Being in the room with someone you care about while they give birth is a much different experience than watching a stranger on a TV screen.
  
• Deep breathing while something the size of a watermelon is pushing its way out of me is NOT GOING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!
  
• I'm completely freaking out.
  

During the video, I had to look away. I can see all other manner of gory things, even open heart surgery doesn't bother me, or face lifts... but for some reason childbirth is the most disgusting thing in the world. I think women who choose to do this naturally with no drugs are completely insane.

OMG! OMG! OMG! What have I done???
