If you are taking a childbirth class, when are you doing it?

RD'sgirlRD'sgirl member
in 2nd Trimester
I am due Sept 4th and my hospital recommends being finished with it 1 month before due date, is late June a good time?  I just want to make sure everything is fresh in our minds.  I also wanted to take a baby care basics class I'm just not sure when in my pregnancy is the best time to take these classes.  Any advice?

    We are taking ours in June. The Dr. recommended 34-36 weeks if you are taking the 1 day class, which we are. I will be 34 weeks.

    I am due Sept 23 (yes, not quite in second trimester) but my doctor said that I should call and sign up right away for the classes, as they fill up fast. I am scheduled to take 5 classes, one per week, in late July through August.  So right up til the 8th month, I guess....hope that helps...

    I'm due the day before you, and we're taking classes early due to DH's work schedule. Our classes are in the month of May which'll be about a month earlier than normally recommended; I think doing them sometime in June/July is perfect.

    Our hospital recommended we take the classes in May and June (we're doing three). I'm due late August. So June sounds about right for you. You could even go with July. It all depends on their schedule.

    I scheduled ours so that they were all completed by 35 weeks. (Bc/ I was hyper-neurotic about him coming early.)

    We start six weeks of Lamaze Plus (geared toward natural birth) next week. I actually wanted to wait a bit longer, but we got the last two seats in the only remaining class that ended before our due date.
