do i need a 'refresher' childbirth class???

MrsJordanalmond

since we had a c/s last time ... we didn't 'use' anything that we learned.

planning to hire a doula who has experience with vbac, and my ob is very supportive.  

so, do we really need another cb class???

TIA

I don't think it would hurt, but I doubt you need to, especially with a doula.  I definitely wouldn't do the hospital one, though. 

 I figured since I'm spending the money on a doula, I'm not going to spend anymore money on classes.

that's what the hubs thinks ... 

although i found that my hospital offers a 2 hour 'refresher' class that we might consider.

I was hesitant to spend money on one, since my first had been useless.  But my OB strongly encouraged it so I took one that my doula taught.  I ended up being really happy that I took the class.  It helped me feel more prepared and positive about attempting a vaginal birth again, and I think it helped my husband a lot too.

But I don't think you need the class.  Lots of people have babies without taking a class.

My plan is to do a Hypnobabies and maybe a VBAC seminar - things to continue educating and motivating us. And I'll probably take the hospital tour, since we're switching hospitals with the next baby.
