I will look into both of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1588302 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:05:34 +0000 blackbird 1588302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took one. It was on the Bump or something and it was free. It was fine, Dh and I were both in grad school and busy and it worked well for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1588288 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:03:29 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1588288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: it was recommended to me to try <a href="http://thebestbirth.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thebestbirth.com/</a> for online classes. I believe it's $99 for 4 online classes (newborn CPR, breast feeding, birthing and newborn care I think) and I've heard good things about the woman who does the classes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585713 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:30:19 +0000 Cole 1585713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: That makes sense and I like the idea so I think if I can find an online class I will still do a breastfeeding and baby wearing class in person so that at least I can meet some other new moms and have some more people to chat with about those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585704 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:27:26 +0000 mrsrain 1585704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will just say that the thing I found most helpful about our (in person) birth class was the discussions that arose among the couples. People come in with such different experiences and expectations, which means questions being asked and suggestions made that I would not have thought of.</p> <p>I am sure you can find a good online birth class, but if there is any way to go to an in-person one, that is what I would recommend. Good luck!</p> <p>ETA: We had to drive out of our way (about 45 minutes) to our class, which started at 6:30. Not super convenient, but if I had to do it over I would still do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585656 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:08:15 +0000 Ra 1585656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a free online birth class. I didn't find it super helpful, but I don't think I would have gotten much out of a class in person either.</p> <p>I did take a BFing class (in person) and found it useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585607 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:50:32 +0000 psw27 1585607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for posting this - our hospital's birth classes seem like a PIA to get to or are on summer weekends we just don't want to give up to sit inside all day.... I was thinking of going the online route as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585594 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:48:22 +0000 LBee 1585594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So weird, I was seriously just about to start this question and ask a poll also about whether people found their birthing class helpful / important. Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-birth-classes#post-1585566 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:42:54 +0000 Cole 1585566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone found any child birth classes that are online? The birth center we are using asks everyone to take one and while we don't mind the idea of doing one in person they are all pretty inconvenient (either scheduled during weekends we are out of town or on the other side of town at rush hour for 6 weeks.) We are aiming for an unmedicated birth at a birth center and I don't have any issue with particularly crunchy leaning classes. My husband's one request was that we have some sort of contact person we could ask questions of as they pop up.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
