A few weeks ago, we started taking Bradley method childbirth classes. They've been pretty fun thus far and I think they'll help us feel as prepared as we can for the process of actually welcoming these babies into the world.
In the past two weeks, we've learned a couple facts in these classes that I thought others might find interesting:
1. The uterus is the strongest muscle in the human body. It can exert 45 lbs of pressure per square inch.
2. Since I'm pregnant with twins, I have approximately 100% more blood in my body than I did before I was pregnant.
Given fact #2, I'm hoping there are no vampires nearby. But if there are, I'm fairly confident that they'll be scared away by the power of my uterus (see fact #1) :-D
see what I mean?! totally an overachiever, school, sports, career, and now uterus!
ReplyDeleteHaving been through labor twice, I TOTALLY believe #1!
