I'm trying to decide if I should take any prenatal classes this spring. Are you or did you take any? Any classes in particular that seem worthwhile, or best to skip them all?
I was considering a BF class or maybe a Happiest Baby on the Block class.

I didn't. I hired a doula and took a hospital tour. I don't regret skipping classes.
-
I didn't take any. I read some books and stuff online and didnt think a class would teach me anything I didn't already know. I feel like classes are more for the dad than the mom, and DH is a doctor who has delivered babies so I wasn't worried about him.

We took L&D and Infant CPR. I don't think L&D really helped during labor.
-
We took a breastfeeding class and baby basics. I thought the breastfeeding class was very helpful and the baby basics class was good for my husband. We are both physicians as well but realized there is a lot we don't know about taking care of babies!

I skipped the breast feeding class and wish I hadn't. It's something I'll be taking for baby #2.
We took a birth class and while I don't feel like either of us got anything out of it, I also feel like I would really regret not having taken it. Does that make sense?
I took the class before learning I'd have a planned c-section and I REALLY wish they'd have touched base on sections, which is something they glossed over in maybe ten minutes out of 4 weeks of classes.

I think I'm leaning towards doing a BF class, and skipping the others. However, the only prenatal BF class at my hospital is in an auditorium with 100+ other people! Not sure how helpful that would be.
