Two neat things to do at childbirth class.

[Luv2bemommy]

We done these two things at our CB class and I thought I would share. One is a Bingo game and the other is a "guess the dialation" game.. It gives different food and you try and guess how many cm's it is.. I'll post and give the answer key to that in a sec.. Enjoy!

Alrighty then.. That didnt work, so here they are again.. LOL

She would do these and whoever won would get a prize.





The answer key for the food one is..

M&M-1
Peanut Butter Cracker-4
Onion-8
Cherry Tomato-3
Mini powdered donut-5
Grapefruit-10
Brach's butterscotch-2
York's Peppermint Patty- 7
Orange-9
Chips Ahoy- 6
Reece's peanut butter-5
bagel-9
Oreo- 4 or 5 cm
Ritz cracker- 4 or 5 cm


Also my doula trainer did these things with us.. One was the "ring of fire" she played that song by Johnny Cash and made us take our fingers and stretch out our mouths as wide as we could, you know to feel that burning.. Also she gave each of us a lifesaver, and told us to only suck on them, not to bite.. That way it would melt, like a cervix would open, then and widen.. Neat huh?

they were really neat! It makes you look at it in a different way. I too hope one day I am a CBE so I can use these things. First I have to work on my CLA! Really cool

Ooooh I especially love the guess the dilation game! That is genious.

I would probably take the "plans to bottle feed" off the bingo game though.

LOL! Grapefruit was my Mantra when I had my first baby, it worked as a visualization tool. up

MMM I could convert it to South African foods cause some of these things aren't available here but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Do you visually show them these things or just list them?
