Prenatal Yoga

I attended my 5th yoga class last night in the course of a few months. I have one more session that I have paid for and I hope to get it in before our birthing day! There are three of us that are 36-weeks and one girl is named Rebecca who is having her first child- a boy!  Anyways, the class is growing! It went from 8 members to 12. New people start showing up and others drop out as they reach full-term. One girl was 6-weeks pregnant last night. A new lady showed up who was 42 years-old and had rather a negative spirit. She is probably traditional-minded when it comes to birth. She probably has a physician/OB instead of a midwife. We always start the meetings with a 15-minute introduction telling your name, how far along you are, your care provider, if you have a doula, what number child and what you are having. The new member who is 42, asked me if I had a Plan B since I am driving to Toccoa. She said she woke up 4 cm. I was thinking, "And..." I told her we were laboring at home for a while and the doula would help us decide when we needed to head to the hospital. My midwife told me on Monday that I could be 6-7cm when I arrive at the hospital. Some people think that there is an urgency. Like the movies portray, your membranes release or you have a uterine surge and you have to rush to hospital. Babies don't just fall out!

We booked a newborn session with Bianca Hubble of Axsys Photography of Toccoa. It is difficult to book a session when you do not know when your baby will be born, but thankfully the appt. can be changed. I booked the appt. on my birthday with wishful thinking that Lincoln will arrive a little early or on time. If he decides to wait, I'll have to reschedule.
