Blog 8 - Midterm Review

At this point in the semester, I think that the module on Pregnancy, Childbirth and Breastfeeding has been the most interesting and insightful. My husband and I are at the beginning of the "having kids" process and we are both scared. The chapter in the text had a lot of information, many things that I did not know. This module was quite timely with my yearly female exam and the topics in the text helped me formulate questions to ask my ob/gyn. The information and assignment on breastfeeding was especially helpful. I have not had much exposure to breastfeeding. The idea of it always made me feel weird but after reading more about it, it is something I want to consider (where before it was not even a consideration.) My husband and I are excited about being parents but we are definately nervous. I was glad to have this module as part of the class, I feel a little more prepared for when we are blessed with a pregnancy.
