I attended two Lamaze classes with my baby mamas. Useless.

My oldest was born sans drugs--not because I was trying to do so, but because I waited too long to ask for pain medication. I don't think those breathing exercises were worth much, but I'm grateful my husband could be with me.

Call me "Old School," but after witnessing the birth of my two I would of preferred to be pacing in the Waiting Room like in the olden days.

I have great respect for birthing mothers. God bless them!
