Yes. I get certified through work.
And I've had to use both cpr and choking before.
(choking on my own kid, cpr on a stranger).
I highly recommend everyone takes a course. No matter what your comfort level, there might (will?) be a time when you are the only person there when someone needs it.

No, I kept meaning to get certified to know what to do in case something happened to LO.

Yes. I've taken classes in the past but never got officially certified. Last month I got officially certified and got my card this week

I've been certified in the past for various jobs but have let it lapse. I think I would like to take a refresher course though, just trying to find one that works schedule wise.

I was - I did it before B was born - but it's lapsed. I would like to recertify.

Yes, my work pays to have an instructor come and teach CPR/First Aid/AED & for us to be certified. And since I have young children they taught me the infant/child course as well.

No. But I took an infant CPR class and choking class. She has choked (not gagged) several times. I've literally saved her life 2x from the training.

I'm on the medical emergency response team at work so I am CPR and first aid certified and I took a class on infant CPR when I was pregnant.
