We attended a multiples birthing class offered by our hospital over the weekend. It was great. The instructor was very informative and gave us all the information in hand outs as well so that if anything was forgotten (pg brain!) you can review it later. The class was small, only 5 couples, compared to the regular birthing class next door that had a packed house. Most of the couples were within a few weeks' gestation of us, so it was nice to compare notes etc. I'm feeling much calmer and more relaxed after the class. I was able to get a lot of my questions about the multiple birthing experience answered as well as questions regarding the hospitals policies. She covered a lot of breast-feeding info and I'm feeling good about that too. I think we will sign up for the "Day about Baby" class and the breast-feeding class offered at the hospital too. I ended up canceling our class for this upcoming weekend- "Bringing Baby Home" because of the class length. The birthing class was 3 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday. The BBH class is 7 hours on Saturday and 7 hours on Sunday. There is NO WAY I could sit that long. I'm hoping I can find a BBH class in the area that isn't over 2 days but is broken up over a month or so.
I saw my MFM OB today and all is looking good. My boys are doing great (just checked heartbeats, fluid around them and placentas today) and my blood pressure is still low. She is going to keep me on the same meds and see me in two weeks for the anatomy scan. I also had the nurse test my at home blood pressure cuff. The reading was WAY off of the reading the nurse took, so now I am looking for a new machine for home. I'm hoping that we can return this one to the pharmacy as it was so far off.
