I am taking a prenatal yoga class. I signed up for it in the hopes that it would help keep my pregnancy anxiety at bay. Little did I know how many other wonderful benefits it would have.
First of all, how often do we get an entire hour to concentrate on relaxing? The concept was so foreign to me until now. No one ever tells you that relaxation is a learned behavior. At least it is for me. Breathing may be something involuntary, but who knew that breathing slowly and deeply could have such a profound affect on my body and mind?
We are practicing poses that will be helpful in labor. All week, I look forward to having an hour just for me. And as an added benefit, I am really enjoying the company of the other women in my class. Last night we got to talking about birthing classes. I mentioned that I had learned that it was important to take a class independent of the hospital in order to avoid simply being taught to "be a good patient".
Our instructor knows someone who teaches Bradley classes and is going to bring her contact information to the next class. Any thoughts on Bradley? How about other techniques, such as hypnobirthing?

Bradley is a great Independent Childbirth Course. Lots of good information. Hypnobabies is also another great choice. Many great topics are covered, including nutrition, exercises, birth information, consumer information (typical interventions with the pros and cons) with the added benefit of hypnosis, which helps you get the deepest relaxation possible. Post hypnotic cues to help you feel pressure instead of pain. Pretty cool stuff. Check out some great Hypnobabies Birth stories at www.pregnancybirthandbabies.com
Find more information about Independent Childbirth Educators at www.independentchildbirth.com That is SO important to take a class outside of the hospital! :)
Your video is awesome! Wow, I am so impressed!
Do you have any recommendations for prenatal yoga home videos?
I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard good review on Prenatal Yoga by Sheva Rea.
I used Prenatal Yoga by Sheva Rea. I liked it, nothing to complicated, but it gets boring after a while. I am just starting my search for a VBAC OB in Philadelphia. I am not pregnant but am looking to begin the journey. My last midwife, the one that decided I needed a c-section, told me I needed to wait two years between deliveries to be a VBAC candidate. My child is 8-months but I am looking for a second opinion. This Blog is very helpful and I am able to relate to many of your fears and concerns. Thank you for putting it up.
