The Lamaze Philosophy - holds that birth is a normal, natural and healthy process and that women should be empowered through education and support to approach it with confidence. the goal of Lamaze is to explore all the ways women can find strength and comfort during labor and birth. Classes focus on relaxation techniques, but they also encourage the mother to condition her body's response to pain through training and practice, the process is called psycho-prophylaxis.yeah i never had lamaze class, i just read some articles about them and yeah one can get that idea through and in your system, also talking to your husband is great...
Lamaze courses don't advocate for or against the use of drugs and routine medical interventions during labor and delivery, but instead educate mothers about their options so they can make informed decisions when the time comes.
like for me a month before i delivered Princess Christer, i told him, i don't want epidural or pain killers or what ever that could harm the baby .. though tested epidural already in the market and i think widely used by many, i prefer not to, unless life and death. i was ready to feel the pain, and im so wanting it that after 8 units of oxytocin i am still alive and pretty happy and yup no pain. i felt the pain... right after those IV's were off my skin.. and then im still not open .. my OB told my husband if after 1hour my cervix hasn't opened yet (got stuck up yeah for the hundredth times 4cm) i will be in C section... thus my husband says... do what is best doc you know what is best... he saw the worst of my situation right after the ob said ok.. yikes.. the pain..
being knowledgeable of how your baby grows inside and how your body responds to each pregnancy though it is not the same as the previous or others pregnancy, it is still best to accept and embrace the changes, and always take comfort in the Lord (geeh! i find these hard lately, embracing ...) ... being too emotional one pregnant woman cannot do without, i am happily saying that i am one of 'em, i am having my share of supper ups and downs and tried managing the love and hate relationship, still manage to stand my ground and be sane...
im now 33.5 weeks and im due in 5 to 6 weeks.. and now im feeling and yes i said feeling the big D is again coming .. i have experienced the peak of crying lady, never thought of crying inside the bathroom for like one hour under the shower, not knowing what becomes of what... all i know is that i want to cry and i feel so down... something deep is scarring my heart... that everytime baby kicks i feel afraid. and i cry. i have managed with the help of my dear hunny bunny and some text and pep talks from my super friends. and now i can feel it coming again, .. but im willing to get over it and win at the end, only me can make it ... no one can break it... thus whatever i feel i offer it to God, though i feel sorry, still i know He knows the reality of me.
so the readings and everythings that are nice to read that comforts me and silence me... pray.
after all life is... drawing the strength within me... empowering my self towards a beautiful life.... with the help of the Almighty God thru the intercession of Mama Mary and smiles, laughs, giggles, whispers, cryings, clingings, kisses, dancing (these never stops...) etc etc etc from princess Christer and soon added a heft of joy Duke .. no one can top that off nothing can top that off...
