Mama Sweat: The Childbirth Workout
Wow, people this woman is amazing. I'm working on slowly getting back into the swing of things with the Wii Fit but this woman is down right inspiring. I mean almost everyone opps for drugs or an epidural these days and she went at labor like a champ. Sure, as smart twentieth century
women we have to realize that its only been in the last couple of decades that women have gotten all the advantages of pain killers during birth or a c-section. But, and this is a big BUT we don't really think of what labor was like a thousand years ago or even a hundred. This woman has completely revamped my idea of childbirth. I mean, I have viewed myself as one of the lucky few. My contractions were in the 80's on the monitor before any real discomfort little on pain started. My nurses keep trying to give me pain killers to take the edge off because I had refused an epidural. I did invest in a pregnancy ball but I wasn't supposed to use it because I was pretty much banned from exercise. It is down right amazing that I didn't balloon out going that long without any exercise! Now I'm definitely weaker than before but Mama Sweat is an inspiration to keep working hard and get back into shape! Go woman you are my new hero.
