Early Bird Prenatal Class

Just came back from my first prenatal class, a complimentary class provided by Eastover OBGYN (the clinic I've been going in for my prenatal check-up). Got a goodie bag that contains a sample Enfamil formula, DHA supplements and some reading materials. About 8 couples were there and too bad WT was not able to be with me tonight due to work commitment. The first session of the class consists of the following topics:-
1) Body changes you can expect
2) Fetal growth and development
3) Common discomforts of pregnancy and helpful hints for relief
4) Emotional Aspects:"You're Not Crazy-You're pregnant!"
5) Sex and the pregnant couple
6) Exercise - Myths and moderation
7) Travel during pregnancy
8) Nutrition
9) Smoking, alcohol, drugs and caffeine: How they affect your baby!
10)Feeding your baby: Breast or Bottle?
11)Family Planning:"How soon are you planning baby brother or sister?"



The second session will be the tour of the medical center. It will be held on next Wed.

I will be going in for my ultrasound tomorrow morning. Feeling a little excited now and hopefully, I get to sleep well tonight.
