Today was also the first night of my actual childbirth classes. They break it up into 4 weeks and each week they discuss a different stage of labor (L.A.T.E=Latent, Active, Transition, Expulsion). Tonight we discussed the first stage of labor, the Latent stage. It was really informative and the nurse (the instructor) made it very easy to understand by using simple visuals like lifesavers and marshmallows. I'm looking forward to next week's class already!

Does that mean that you're going to be pushing a marshmallow out of your life saver? ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, the marshmallow and the lifesaver were actually both supposed to represent the cervix and how it effaces and opens.
