when to take classes?

FutureMrsTowns · August 2012

so, when did you register for birthing classes? is it better to do them earlier or later?

You should take the class when you are about two months away from your due date. That way the memory will still be relatively fresh, but you won't be so close to your due date that you have a high risk of missing the course because you are already in labor. I was due at the end of Jan and took mine in late Nov/ early Dec.

Ditto PP. Most of mine have a 'suggested time frame' on when to take them. I would register for them asap though, they fill up quickly (at least in my area).

We are using St Davids on Mopac and after looking at the schedule for classes and talking to the instructor we realized that if we waited she would not be able to fit us in until the middle of October which felt too late. So she put us into her early August classes that had a cancellation. Apparently September and October are busy birth months for Austin from what the instructor told us. You might want to double check scheduling for your classes to see when they have room first.

lol i forgot the bump still has me in Pflugerville, not sure how to change that, but I'm in San Diego, now, lol

I really dont think I will want to take the class in December since I will be leaving town for two or three weeks in December, maybe I'll look into November...

My Doula does my brithing classes. I'm due end of December and am doing my classes the last 2 weeks of October-the first 2 weeks of November. With DD it was a 6 week course and it ended right about 34 weeks. That seems to be the ideal time to end the classes.

No worries, I was just surprised someone else knew where Pflugerville was! Someone just posted how to change your location but all I remember was it is in the "my account" feature.. some where. Sorry not much help!

I registered at about 3 months and I'm scheduled to take them in November, two months before my "due date month"

i'm planning to finish the classes 2 months before full term just in case if my LO arrives earlier. and i'm planning to shop for DVD like pp mentioned beforeto refresh my memory if we're that lucky to have him stay until full term.
