Random note: In order to commemorate Cinco de Mayo today, I had Chinese for lunch.
Probably the most eventful thing that happened to us last night is that we had to clip clothespins to our ears during child birth preparation class. The whole point was to illustrate how breathing techniques can help you endure pain. Halfway through the full minute with the clothespin attached to our ears, Rob shouted that he wanted the epidural. Of course, we all laughed. Personally, I think laughter helps make pain more bearable than breathing technique. But maybe the concepts aren't far apart - they both provide welcome distraction.

Under normal childbirth conditions, these breathing techniques do work! And even under the horrific kind, the kind no one wants to go through, they help as well! You just need to practice them daily...till the end! And be encouraged...you will make it through!

Why work on them everyday when you can just do the epidural? Oh wait, that would be wrong to do that.
