bakasana, my butt.

So . . . I've been reading a book on the Bradley method. It appeals to my sensibilities. And I was just trying out some of the exercises mentioned. One of them is a squat. As I'm doing the squat, boy goes into the crane pose and informs me that this is the proper birthing position.

You know, he was pretty obnoxious before, constantly going into this pose just to prove that he can do it. Now he just looks at me, grins, and squats down and pushes himself up and tells me I must practice with him.

I don't think so.

I've not had any bleeding. The only exercises in this book are tailor position (no problem for hypermobile ol' me), squatting (not squats, just sitting in a squat), pelvic rocking, and something else. They're not really exercises, per se, just flexibility/stretching stuff.

I go to water exercise class twice a week. Prior to the second trimester, I was exercising a lot--hiking, biking, etc. Asthma hit and stopped that, but I haven't had any problems otherwise. Now that I can be active again, I am.

I think it's McCutcheon's edition. yep (http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Childbirth-Bradley-Way-Revised/dp/0452276594)
