Child birthing classes are a mixed bag. Informative, preparatory, silly, gross, dumb, and eye opening. We've had a great experience at the St. Davids hospital in Central Austin. Very knowledgeable and kind instructors, and also very progressive it seems. We were taught meditation and were heavily pushed towards natural birth and breast feeding. Steph and I have a well established hippie side to us, so there was not a big need for persuation when it came to us, but considering the varied demographics in the classes, I was a bit surprised, in a good way. Does it help the hospitals bottom line to pump out healthy babies?
Here's a shot of Steph in class. When in lecture, we sit in the back and snicker at the gross pictures. But we do our share of tearing-up as well.
