Not exactly as dainty and sensual as the instructor, I gaurantee you! I loved the yoga too, felt so much better after each session. @Joey, lol – like me doing Salsa with Kyra strapped to my chest.

Didn't do Lamaze myself, but definitely recommend hypno birthing. In fact the midwifery team here request that you let them know in advance if you're practicing hypno birthing as they say it makes the births calmer and quicker, and they don't respond to 'calm' labouring women (as they don't believe they're in full labour yet) unless they know they are hypno birthing! @Eva Gallant, That is excellent!

I was able to deliver without any medication, and they were wonderful experiences for both me and their Dad. And this was way back in 1972 and 1973.

I looked really odd doing it in the final months, but the natural birth was my Everest and I trained every day. I did the prenatal yoga and this ridiculous mambo dance prenatal dvd.
