Classes
What kind of classes did you all take and by what time had you completed them?

Re: Classes
We took:
Multiple Expectations
Baby Care Basics
Breastfeeding
Dogs & Babies
We took them between 20 and 24 weeks and by the 24th week, I was miserable sitting in those chairs for 2 hours at a time.
Oh, and pretty much all of the classes were a waste, IMHO.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Good to know! lol
I was planning on a basic labor/delivery one and a breastfeeding one as well.
We took a Multiples class and breastfeeding class around 24 weeks. The Multiples class was a waste of time, I learned SO much more from this board. I did learn a lot in the BFing class, esp about how things are done in the hospital where I'll be delivering.
A basic Labor/Delivery/Baby Care class, finished 2 days before they were born!
Also had planned to take a BFing class the following week, but that didn't happen!
We took it all as first time parents (and Type A people!):
-Multiples
-Newborn Care
-Childbirth Basics
-Breastfeeding
I found all of them to be extremely helpful. However, I think a big reason for that was that the instructors were AMAZING. We started taking a childbirth class and newborn care class at another site and quit in the middle because the instructor just didn't know how to teach. I would recommend taking the classes because the info somehow sunk in more than it did when I read the books.
