Thoughts on Lamaze/prenatal yoga?

Question

I desperately want to give birth naturally if my pain tolerance allows me, I’ve heard I should get a doula and take a prenatal yoga class. Would you say it’s beneficial?

Answer

I can’t comment on a doula or birth (this is my first pregnancy), but I just started prenatal yoga a few weeks ago and LOVE it!  It’s a great atmosphere to be around other pregnant women trying to stay fit, the yoga itself is great for keeping aches and pains at bay, and I just feel like it’s bonding time with my baby.  I would highly recommend it.
