#1 - Videos of women giving birth are horrifying
#2 - Videos of women given birth with the help of drugs are less horrifying
#3 - Classes like this lead you to believe you can give birth to a human being without any drugs!! "I'm a woman! I'm built to do this!!!"
#4 - We should try to stay at home for as long as possible before going to the hospital? Note: This one is still confusing and also will be the hardest to follow through on.
#5 - Big bouncy balls are helpful for women who are birthing. Other helpful things: baths, drugs, massages, water, sober husbands, drugs, yoga positions, twinkle lights, aroma-therapy, etc.
#6 - Being only a few blocks away, the teacher agreed that Steve and I could probably walk to the hospital. Note: we highly doubt this will happen but think it sounds super bad ass.
#7 - They no longer teach "who who who ha ha ha"-type breathing in lamaze class
#8 - No matter how slimy the baby looks upon arrival, skin-to-skin is apparently a big thing
#9 - There is a time and place for Steve's jokes but he should tread lightly during phase 2 of pregnancy
#10 - Steve does not know our due date. When introducing himself to the class, this pretty basic question tripped him up.
