Moms of 2- childbirth refresher class?

Anyone take a childbirth refresher class?  It's been 3 years so I'm wondering if this is something worth taking....

Thoughts?

I didn't take any classes at all and managed to muddle through.

No, wait. I did take the breastfeeding one the first time, but that was it.

I'm having a repeat c-section, so I won't bother with childbirth. But I am seriously considering taking infant/child CPR again. My biggest fear is that I would need to do CPR and not remember what to do.

Dh and I didn't get through the whole class the first time around.  So we never signed up the second time, and don't plan on it this time. 
We probably will do a cpr refresher, though!

Didn't you learn the first time that it goes how it's going to go, and that the "childbirth class" is mostly a bunch of hooey??

i didn't bother.

I took the childbirth classes w/ #1, & skipped it since it had only been 2 years. Though I was scheduled for a c-section, I found myself in labor, and the breathing techniques came back to me w/o fail.

I took an intensive weekend with my doula group.  They focused a lot on hypbirth and natural pain relief techniques which I thought was important since I was nervous about my VBAC.

Taking the class at the hospital again would have been a waste, though.

Ditto.  I didn't take them again for #2, but those breathing and relaxation exercises came back in a hurry.  I delivered with the same doc, same hospital so I knew the drill on when to call, etc.

I didn't and didn't feel I needed it, the pushing was like riding a bike.
