Second (or more) time moms

mytwobabies · April 2011

Are you taking pre-natal classes? I personally dont feel like I need a birthing class because I took one with my first pregnancy and I've been through labor and delivery before so I think it would just boring to sit through it again. I breastfed DD for 19 months so I'm pretty much a pro at breastfeeding also and dont want to sit through the class. I'm considering a cloth diapering class because I'd like to try it out but know nothing about it.

Are any of you second or more time moms taking any new classes or ones that you have already taken as a "refresher"?

We didn't take any the first time and won't this time either. I'm sure it will come back very quickly!!

Nope it all came right back as soon as they started my labor with #2. I never even finished my classes with #1.

We're doing a class, but DS was born 6 years ago, and I didn't do any classes when I was pregnant then. Plus I'm delivering at a birth center this time, hospital/epi birth with DS so it will be a totally different experience

I took the Bradley method the first time around (along with breastfeeding and infant care). I don't plan on taking any classes this time around. Like you, I breastfed DS for awhile (20 months). Although, I am sure that it will seem strange to breastfeed an infant again. I do plan on doing the exercises that I did the first time around with the Bradley method.

No, we aren't taking any classes. We signed up for a childbirth class with our first, but it was really lame and we really didn't learn anything. We attended the first session out of 3 and never went back.

The only class we took and really enjoyed/got something out of was the infant cpr and first aid class. I don't think we will take it again, though.

I'm not taking any classes.

We took the Childbirth Education class at the hospital the first time. But this time, I'd really like to go naturally. To help us with that we are doing a Natural Childbirth class. It's only 1 night so if we hate it, at least it's not a long course.

Nope, no classes this time. We only did the hospital birth class last time, so it wouldn't hurt to take a BFing class to brush up [I BF'd DS until 17 month, but I'm terrified everything will be different this time], but I haven't looked into it at all.

Probably taking another breastfeeding class, but that's it.

Definitely not planning on taking any classes this time. I will however be grabbing a few natural birth books so that I can better educate myself on that subject. We don't really have any classes around here that offer that type of information otherwise I might have taken those.

Only class I'm taking is the sibling class for my DD. It's only $20 and she'll get to see the hospital I'll be delivering at.

PoseyMamma · April 2011

Nope no classes. I feel like I just went through all the labor stuff and all so I don't see a reason to waste my time on the same class that I took while pregnant with DD. We are going to the same hospital and have the same set of doctors so I am not really worried about it. DD is young so I don't want to take her to any sibling classes because she won't sit there and I don't want to make a sense and her be the youngest one in there. She is around other babies and kids so she will do fine I think!

krisim · April 2011

Nope. It wasn't that long ago that I had DD, so I don't think that I need a refresher.
