Went for 3rd pre-natal class last Sat. Our 2nd and last exercise session of our 7 sessions. Lesson focused on breathing techniques during labour, contractions... oso the signs b4 admitting myself to hospital...
Jus to recap:
SSO - Sigh Out Slowly during initial & last few stages of contractions
SSBO - Short Sharp Breathe Out when contractions get more intense
Pant Pant Blow - When you shouldn't push @ all
Think the hubbies r more experienced wif breathing techniques than the MTBs... in fact, b4 the physiotherapist demo to us the breathing techniques, Dearie oredi demo to me, n correct some more! in the end, whn MTBs were to practise the different breathing techniques, me jus cldn't stop giggling n breathing @ same time... heehee!
There r oso positions to adopt at certain stages of labour... we were oso tot to practise active labour, where we engage in 'C' position n take in a deep breathe n hold our breath n PUSH during contractions... but as we were onli practising during our lessons, the physiotherapist did warn us NOT to push, as she din wan any emergency labour to take plc... haha!
nxt 4 lessons wil b on parentcraft, think Dearie wil b more engaged then =) nxt lesson wil oso include a tour of the delivery ward n hospital =)
