Tonight, Spencer and I attended a class called 'Coping with Labor Pain.' Spencer thought the class would provide him with tips on how to cope with my nagging about everything we have to do before the baby arrives, but it turned out to be a class about how to cope with the pain that occur in a woman's body during childbirth and delivery.
The first thing we noticed was the ethnic composition of the students. Caucasian people were definitely the minority. Which led Spencer and I to wonder whether Caucasian people are having kids. Or perhaps the Caucasians are the only ones willing to shell out the $150 for the full length class?
The class began with a short film on the delivery process. This film required a certain suspension of disbelief, as the couple managed to get through labor without any of the cursing that is certain to accompany our delivery.
We were also entertained by the 'Birth Companion' pamphlet which was distributed during the class. Did these people agree to be in this pamphlet? And did they know that the pamphlet would continue to be distributed long after female mullets and overalls went out of style?
