INOVA Alexandria deliverers come in

And Ketch · February 2010

Hi Ladies,

So I am trying to think about upcoming dates we'll need to pencil in for the spring, like birthing classes and hospital tour and such. We're delivering at Alexandria and I just today found the link online to register for a tour. The dates available start at the end of April, which makes me think I need to sign up now. What do you think?

When did you do birthing classes and go on your tour?

I'm a Physicians & Midwives patient if that helps.

Thanks!!

I didn't deliver there but we did our weekend class/tour around 30 weeks

We waited until the last min for almost all of our classes. Embarrassed

I think I was 35 weeks or something like that when I took Lamaze (not at Alex). We did the tour and the breastfeeding class around the same time at Alex. It defnitely wouldn't hurt to sign up now...you can always cancel.

I was around 33 weeks when we did our tour. I signed up for it very early because our availability was limited.

We honestly didn't get anything out of the child birth class we took through INOVA. We stopped going...

I almost went to Physcians and Midwives.

I did the tour around 33 weeks, also. I took the 1 day birthing class early 3rd tri.

Do they still offer the birthing class that meets at the kenmore P&M location? That is what we did when we had Kenzie. Then we took the tour through the class. I want to say it was at about 30 weeks.

We took birth classes through P&M (Liz M. was the instructor), which included a hospital tour as part of the class. We did the multi-week class, starting I think at about 28 weeks or so.

They probably only have dates in April because of the H1N1 visitor restrictions -- the cancelled all tours starting back in the fall and have just recently started scheduling tours again.

Good point on the H1N1 - didn't think of that!

Yes, Liz is still the one doing the classes for P&M and I have contacted her. Sounds like the way to go - thanks Ladies!!!

I did mine in the beginning of 3rd tri so I wouldn't be uncomfortable and because I wanted a Sat. class. When you do go into labor make sure someone brings you food to your hospital room, their food sucks. The L&D floor was great but the PP floor is overwhelmed (too many patients and not enough RNs) so also make sure someone stays with you to help with LO.
