I'm not sure there's much to teach about different breathing techniques
that's helpful. From what I've read, the main thing to try is deep slow
abdominal breathing, which isn't particularly difficult to learn - 30

Ah breathing it only works if you can focus on it. Last time it took me a
while to focus but it happened.

minutes sounds like a terribly long time to me.

It was long.....a little too long but we did cover some massage techniques
in that time.

(Of course, it's worth
practicing it, but that's something you'd do regularly at home rather
than one just one day.)

I do agree that it would be nice to learn more about different
positions, etc. I didn't find our antenatal classes terribly useful
either. I didn't actually mind so much about that side of it, since I'd
read up a lot on my own account and didn't expect to learn very much
that I didn't already know, but what I _did_ mind was that I was really
hoping to get to know other women at the same stage of pregnancy, and
somehow that just didn't seem to happen. There wasn't any kind of
introductory session, and we just didn't get to chatting all that much -

We didn't have that either and I was a little up set but some of the women
seamed like I don't want to talk to anyone....kind of attitude
