Yes, I just completed the 4 week course and it was pretty good actually. I have been reading the baby books all along so it wasnt really any info that was shocking or too unknown.
The last 2 classes are good because you practice birthing positions, breathing, partner roles etc.
The classes were a bit long (6:30-9:00) but overall pretty good!
The breastfeeding class Scripss offers is a really good 1 day class.
I did many of them. The 4 week one was pretty good...too long (I would have done the abbreviated one if I had to do it over), the breastfeeding one, infant cpr, taking care of baby and dogs and babies. Dogs and babies was the best (if you have a dog). They were ok.

Thanks ladies. I have been doing the reading and researching, but I realized that my husband isn't getting as much out of it when I tell him things. Figured the classes would be definitely more beneficial for him.
Thank you for your input!

We plan to do the 2-part Get Ready for Baby class and of course, the tour. I may do a b/f class but my OB said they can go over some of the material in my next few appts if I don't do the delivery class.
I did not know they had a dog and baby class--is that in LJ?
