Traditionally, Lamaze has been famous for its breathing method in women deliver babies, and although it hasn't changed radical- ly, itis different. Epsom Lamaze instructor Alice Lee says the days of putting all con- centration into breathing is gone, and have been replaced by a new, relaxed attitude. The whole idea is to use breathing in order to make the mother feel more relaxed, and if a mother is worried if she is breathing right or not, it can make her more uptight. "The emphasis is more on relax- ing than on breathing,' she says. In the past, many women were more exhausted from the intense breathing exercises than they were from the actual birth.

Before, it was thought that air was needed in the lungs for pushing but, again, studies have shown that it is easier on the 0 breathe out when the body is under the most stress. Shelley Galloway, a relatively new Lamaze instructor inthis area, compares the situation tg an athlete, who breathes out when the body is under maximum stress. As Alice points out, when animals deliver their young, they breathe out while pushing. Sheep actually pant. This information comes as a shock to some mothers, who, as Alice says, "are so used to the good old hold your breath and push while everyone is cheering them on."

More and more, doctors are unlearning the myths about Lamaze--that Lamaze instructo aren't fanatics against painkillers; and that Lamaze pretends there is no pain in their childbirth methods. And, surprise, there's a mini-baby boom going on in Durham Region, as the baby boomers grow up and have their own children. Both Alice and Shelley continue to fill their classes and are planning to add a full line-up of brand new classes to their already busy schedule. Three new subject classes will be available to the public in the near future including Early Pregnancy Classes for women who have just discovered they are pregnant; specific classes for women who know they will be delivering by Caesarean; and Parenting Classes for new parents to help them cope with their first child. The Parenting Classes teach ear- ly baby care, everything from diapers to feeding. "In the old days, families weren't nuclear and women learned baby care from their relatives. Without that education, women often need help," Alice says. "Taking care of babies just doesn't come naturally." "The biggest thing new parents go through is fear," Shelley adds. "There are more things now than there used to be to be aware of--and to be afraid of. New parents need to trust themselves and they need reassurance. Many new mothers think they're doing so badly."
