Multiples

what do you wish was covered better in your prenatal classes?

Most people don't go to a special class on multiples so as MoMs what do you wish was included in your classes?

Examples bed rest, shortening cervic, NICU info etc.

Re: what do you wish was covered better in your prenatal classes?

  • Honestly, by the time the girls arrived, I forgot pretty much everything from my classes anyway. 

    I ended up on bedrest in the hospital for pre-e and it was much better just to learn all the new stuff as it presented itself along the way. LOL

    That labor, esp. PTL doesn't always = painful, regular contractions. If I had waited for that point i would have had my babies in the car. I wish they would stress that some people have less obvious symptoms and not to ignore things because they don't sound exactly like a typical labor story.

    I'm not a MoM but I wish there was a bit more on c-sections.

    Such as?  Due to my bed rest situation, we aren't able to take a class, but I'd love to hear the less common signs of labor.
