took childbirth classes

Today we took our childbirth classes. It was an all-day event that was scheduled for 9-5. Of course we were running late in the morning and so we didn't end up getting there until around 9:30. It wasn't that big of a deal though, the only thing that we missed was the part where everyone went around the room and introduced themselves. So it really was not that big of a loss. Overall the class was pretty good, but I felt like a lot of it I already knew and some of it was a bit repetitive and redundant. But there was definitely a lot of good information and so I feel somewhat more prepared and like I know more what to expect now. But...I am also now starting to freak out a little bit more about the actual labor part of this process. I am such a wimp when it comes to pain, so I am definitely very scared! Up until this point I have just tried not to think too much about the actual process of giving birth, but now that it's getting closer, there is really no avoiding it anymore -eek!
