Apparently that was a bad idea...

I just watched a bunch of birthing videos on BabyCenter and I'm kind of FREAKING OUT!!!

I knew I didn't want an epidural, but now I realllllllllly don't want one. Needles freak me out and that needle is giant and they put it in your back!!!!! The C-section was also crazy. No wonder it's so painful and takes so long to recover from. I have to give big props to my mom for having three kids that way and living to talk about it. Yikes!

The best video I saw was the water birth. I don't think they offer that at the hospital where I'm going to deliver but I think they do have Jacuzzi tubs so hopefully I can relax. I also liked seeing some of the relaxation techniques (moving around, using an exercise ball, having the hubby help with massaging) that I think (hope!) will be helpful when I get to that point. I'm going to go see if they offer any classes like that besides the Bradley class. If not, we're taking that one!
