Feeling better, productive day
Sep. 8th, 2009 09:26 pmWoke up before my alarm clock again. This is getting to be frustrating. But I caught up with Kyle on Skype a bit before class, so that was an unintentional good thing. :) I'm still a bit queasy and my stomach feel sore, like people are playing polka on it, but I've managed to keep food down. That's pretty good.
Psych class went well. We finished watching a National Geographic DVD In the Womb for humans. Apparently there are other episodes for other animals. Interesting! Anyway, they used 4D technology (3D with real time) to show the fetus in the womb and wow. I kind of wanted to have a baby right then and there. :P At least it was better than watching the birth in The Miracle of Life (a video I saw in 5th grade for sex ed) during class last Thursday and then the professor rewinding it. It was scary seeing a birth in reverse. Dear God... Scarred.
And we then watched a clip of a woman giving birth standing. It's an old video clip, and it was from a clinic in France. I've seen pictures of a woman giving birth kneeling for sex ed class in 9th grade but this was the first time seeing it "live." I have to say, it seemed way quicker. I guess gravity does help. In the National Geographic DVD In the Womb the narrator stated that standing or kneeling or squatting is the quickest and least painful stance for natural pregnancy as compared to lying down... The woman had her husband holding her up, then the doctor while nurses were kneeling underneath her. I have to wonder why the husband felt he had to wear a Speedo though (or a bright blue underwear cut like tighty whiteys)... Less risk of getting his regular clothes dirty? The wife was naked so maybe the doctor thought skin to skin contact with the husband would soothe her, too... I don't know... It was an interesting class.
