If you are considering taking a hospital tour or a birthing class...do it! DH and I had ours this weekend and even though it was 9 hrs long we both really thought it was worth the time and the $80. First of all it was super cute to be in a room with 12 other pg ladies all about as far along as me. Second of all it was really re-assuring to my husband to find out his thoughts etc. were the same as all the other husbands.
Now we have a lot better idea of what to expect, how to breath etc.
Re: Birthing Class
Dh and I have our 1st class on 9-17 and Im really looking forward to it. We're taking it through a private business that is recommended through the hospital. I've always heard from friends that the classes through the hospital are just painful but I wanted to take a class.
I'll have to let you girls know how it goes!
We will def. be taking them. Our hospital has the birthing class, infant, CPR, Daddy class... tons of fun classes to take. i know we will do the Birthing and CPR calss for sure.
My mom used to tach them at her hospital when I was younger and I was my sister's coach, but I know it will be VERY different this time around and I want to make sure DH feels as comfortable as possible.
