time that I will never be able to get back...

Uh their might me some info in here that is TMI..so you have been warned.

 

So Teri and I took this "giving birth preperation" class on Saturday, keep in mind we payed 125.00 bucks to take this class. It was supposed to be 9:00 to 4 at the Hospital. I was dredding this class, tried to even weasel my way out of it using the excuse of "Well your going to have a c-section, so why do we need to go?" The response I got was "the look" followed by "we paid for it already so why not just go". So we went.

Let me tell you, I could have found out more fucking info on the net, and saved myselft 125, and most importantly the time that I will never be able to get back from having to go to that class!!!

When we got into the class, the "Instructor" said we would be out by 3pm (Sweet!! One less hour to waste). At the end of the class, we are walking out, get to the elevator, get in...A momment of silence, and Teri looks at me and says "I am sorry we went to that..."

I wanted to unleash the rage and scream at the top of my lungs " NO FUCKING SHIT!!! YA THINK!!!" But I just said, yeah...that class sucked...Thinking to myself..O you will pay for this later..When you are speaking into Mr.Microphone!!!!

But I degress (sp?)..Well all this 6hr torture session taught us was the "3 he's and a who" breathing technique, some relaxation technique's,what a c-section looks like and how an epideral is done. This could of all been fucking done in 2 maybe 3 fucking hours!!! But no, some how it was dragged out to 6!!! If I hear "take a deep clensing breath" one more fucking time it better be my wife doing that before we check to see if her tonsills grew back or not with the one eyed snake.

God damn douchebags...The hole time I am there I am thinking if the class room was the map from Crackdown how would I run around and check it out. Not to mention how I would scale this one lady's funbags...They were awesome!! They were the only thing preventing me from going postal and taking the freaking display baby and beating the shit out of the instructor with it.

There was about twenty couples in this small room and we and another couple we the only ones having twins. And from everything I was listening to, they made it sound like Teri was going to miss out on something amazing if you had to do a c-section. That pushing things out of your fun hole was like a day at freaking Disneyland.

Maybe because I am a man, but I would think that amount of pain would not be something that I would cherish for the rest of my life. The results of the pain...ok..but not the freaking pain, or the pushing, or the poop that can squirt out while you are pushing the kids out..

I mean I was told that child birth is the most painfull thing on this planet. I have blown out an acl and broken and dislocated a wrist. And let me tell you, the acl thing was VERY, VERY, VERY PAINFULL..It was actually during an IFC Flag football game in college, and if I could have stood I would have taken the guys ballsack that blew my knee, and wrapped it over his head, stabbed it with a rusty fork, and then would have put salt in the stab marks..But at no point even to this day am I like..Wow what an experience. In fact I cringe and have flashbacks to that day every time I see a simular thing happen while watching the nfl.

So how is it giving birth naturally, if it is so painfull is better or something you don't want to miss, than a c-section if the end results are the same.

I probably don't get it, because I am a guy and it is a girl thing, but maybe the ladies on the site can enlighten me..

About the class: been there, done that. It was not fun. I think I fell asleep during the relaxation bit. Watching my child's birth was an amazing experience. However, it probably would have been just as amazing if he came via C-section. One thing you should be aware of is that it will take your wife longer to recover from the C-section than if she delivers naturally. They do cut through some stomach muscles and it takes awhile for those to knit back together. This could be why some women heavily recommend natural child birth, but sometimes that is just not the best option. Good luck and have fun being a Dad!

C-sections were the choice for our twins too, for $400 extra they pulled some xtra fat out (tummy tuck). Congrats on the helmet polishing man, I was always told it was: 1st 3 months missionary position 2nd 3 months doggie style last 3 months lay by the hole and HOWL! Good luck man, our birthing class sucked too!

LOL, I wish I could help, but I've never been there and certainly do not plan on going there. I've got two stepsons coming to live with us and my first thought was Thank God, I didn't have to carry them for 9 months. But, I know there are women who like having babies ( I think it's a mental illness) but they say it is an experience they will never forget, (well, duh!) Adoption!

Sorry your class was so lame. I remember ours and thinking it was lame too, and I was shooting for natural childbirth. The only reason I would choose a natural over a Csection is only the recovery. Pushing a baby out hurts (I would no way say it was the most painful thing in my life though. Ive had MUCH worse, and I have had three babies with no drugs) But once the baby is out your pretty much better. (that is unless you have a fourth degree tear, but we wont go there) ;) A Csection is full on abdominal surgery with the repercussions of it. Your technically allowed to drive two days after having vaginal birth (HA! I said vaginal) with a C/S your "supposed" to wait 6 weeks. 6 weeks, just to drive! Im not saying one is better then the other, they both have bonus points, its just so funny how some Csectioon people look down at the Vaginal birthers as stupid and old school and the Vaginal birthers look at the Csections as copouts. (Man can women be bitches) As long as the mom is happy and the baby gets here then its all good. :D
