Tonight’s birthing class was interesting… one of the couples in the class with us had a little premie girl at 32 weeks! They had a prolapsed umbilical cord and had to have an emergency C-section, but the baby is doing just fine (as is the mom). They took the baby to a different hospital because she got bloated and wouldn’t poop, but they’ve got that sorted out and everything is starting to normalize for them.
That was a pretty scary story to hear for the other moms in our class, luckily we are a few weeks ahead of them.
Tonight we got to watch the birthing video (you know, the graphic one) and I have to say it wasn’t as terribly frightening as I expected. It always chokes me up a little to hear that monkey scream that the baby makes after it’s out. I’m probably going to be a wreck when it’s my own baby, I guess we’ll find out soon enough!
