Already MoMs-- classes?

Did any of you take childbirth or childcare classes geared specifically toward multiples?  What did you think?

I'm still brewing away here, but we did take a Birthing Multiples class and I really, really enjoyed it.  I have two kids already so some of it was already known by me (but not by my husband, as I had the boys with my X) but it was nice to learn the things that were feared toward multiples.  It didn't focus on birthing positions or things like that that would be the same regardless of multiples either, so we would have had to take a regular class to get that.

I never took any birthing classes with my other two, so this was kind of neat as well for that reason.

I definitely would have if one had been available!
The nice thing is, the LC who taught my Successful BFing class is a MoM (and very active in my local MOTC). She knew I was having twins and made sure to tell me everything I needed to know that was twin-specific as she was teaching the class. It was helpful. She taught the childbirth class too but as it turned out, we had to miss it and got the kit from her instead to go through it ourselves.

I took a marvelous multiples class and thought it was helpful.  It covered problems during pregnancy, birthing and after they came home.  It also had a tour of the hospital and NICU.

We took the Marvelous Multiples class. It was helpful but there was a lot of stuff that wasn't applicable to me because it was about pregnancy and I was already 32.5 weeks.

I didn't take any.   With DS1 I took a BFing class and didn't get much out of it either.

I also forgot to say, I learned a little and felt happy about that, but these are my husband's first and he has been super nervous about what it will be like and he walked away from the second class (out of three) and I overheard him telling his parents he could totally handle it and it wasn't as bad as he had built up.  So it was worth it for that alone!
