Anyone else planning on taking birth, baby, breastfeeding, etc. classes?
I am a hospital employee. If we take certain classes, we are locked in to only having to pay $100 for delivery! That's c-section, multiples, anything (except NICU), just $100.
We took our first class last night- Healthy Pregnancy. Nothing fabulous or groundbreaking. Next we take a 2 day class, Birth & Baby. All others are optional. I think it would be beneficial to do the class on Multiples too.
ETA: Interesting fact: The classes were started 5 years ago because the NICU's were staying full with PTL babies. When they took a look to who the mom's were it was hospital employees! So, keeping one baby out of NICU pays for a years worth of the classes, or something like that. I was shocked!

We're taking a 4-course Childbirth Education course which also allows us to tak
I took a basic childbirth class with DD. Honestly, I didn't think it was helpful at all when the time came but I guess it was good to be prepared.
