Lamaz

Quick question for u mommies or mommies to be....
I was scheduled for lamaz n all the classes then at 29 weeks went into pre term labor was admitted to he hospital for 9 days ...of course my fifth day there was my first day of lamaz ( obviously missed it) .
Came out of hospital and have been on strict bed rest n procardia since. I still have minor contractions n i come off he procardia next week...my due date was july 27 th ..I'll be 35 weeks this tuesday....n i think once i come off he pills my Might arrive soon after she feels like she is sitting low already ..when i get up to pee I ave to stand still for a sec ( i know she want ) but it feels like she is gonna just fall out. Also my cervix last week was 0.4.

I was ok after taking to nurses at good Sam wit not taking the class they said i wld be fine they walk u through eveything as u go n sup r vey helpful ( I'm getting well my plan is to et the epi..even though in scared as hell)

My cousin started freaking me out today saying just find a class fast n go that i shod really take it.

I cancelled my shower so i doubt I will last too long to find n make the next class. Any of u ladies take the class n feel u wld have been fine without it?

I just took the third session of a three-session Lamaze course (a total of about 8 hours).

It was very helpful and I'm glad I took it, but very little of it was actual Lamaze techniques. It was more about childbirth preparedness - what to do when you're in labor, how to know you're in labor, what the stages of labor are and what they feel like, what medicines are administered and when you can have them. Stuff like that. It helped me to feel informed and prepared, but it sounds like you're already getting tons of extra attention from your doctors.

The nurses' job is to help moms through labor. They will be there for you. I think you're totally ok if you haven't taken the classes.

I have heard of a lot of girls watching the Laugh and Learn DVD on Childbirth Ed and all have said it was really helpful- maybe that would be a better option for you, since getting out and about isn't so safe for you and ?
