Boy was yesterday action-packed… This here Papa-to-be did a little gym climbing in the morning and then accompanied the Mama-to-be to a couples pre-natal yoga workshop in the afternoon. I wouldn’t say that I’m exhausted (strictly speaking) but there is certainly a tinge in the ol’ muscles.
The workshop was a good one. It had been probably about 7 or 8 years since the last time I was in a yoga class like that but many of the poses were familiar. (Alas! No headstand-based poses…) It was interesting to be around some other pregnant couples (some as far along as 38 weeks) and there were certainly some useful lessons there.
I think that a lot of the things that the instructor encouraged for the labor process are things I would have done anyway. But it that bit about applying pressure to the sacrum? Goldmine.
