I didn't think the childbirth class was that helpful. I wish I would have taken a breast feeding class. </p> <p>I took a CPR/first aid class a few months ago when L was four months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-337090 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:27:29 +0000 chopsuey 337090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't take any classes to prepare for LO. Decided to just wing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-337089 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:27:14 +0000 mrsjyw 337089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: there was a short 30 min video (i def could've done without that), took a hosp tour, most of it was lecture by the nurse pract (who we really liked) and her showing us demonstrations with a baby doll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-337074 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:24:44 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 337074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I didn't but knew that I would probably end up with a c-section so it was less critical. This time, if everything goes well I might take a class since I would ideally like to try for a vbac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-337062 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:20:40 +0000 Arden 337062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing hypnobabies home study course, and we'll be taking a cpr course.<br /> Since I'm a doula, I don't think it's necessary to take any other birth classes, I already know what I'm in for.. ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-336966 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:56:04 +0000 Weagle 336966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't.

It went over epis, natural birth, and some meds inbetween. I was so glad I took the class. I knew I wanted an epi but this made me feel better about my decision and feel like I was making an informed decision ..... plus I was glad to know different ways of easing pain for a natural childbirth both for before I went to the hospital while laboring at home and in case my epi failed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-336869 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:31:27 +0000 photojane 336869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: what did y'all do? did you watch a birth video? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-336861 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:30:10 +0000 mrsjyw 336861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, we just took one last saturday. i could've gone without it, but dh liked/learned a lot; for that reason alone i'm glad we took it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-a-birthing-class#post-336854 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:29:15 +0000 photojane 336854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our hospital offers a ton of classes and seminars. we're currently signed up for an infant CPR course and the hospital tour. there are a few different birthing classes, but i'm not sure i want/need that. did you take a birthing class? if so, did it help/was it worth your time? </p>
