Should I?

Should I look into taking a birthing class? or a "refresher" class? This is our second DD but I had our first 5 years ago. Not like much has changed, but would you take a class again?

    When I talk to moms about this (FTM & STM) some say the classes were helpful and some say they weren't. I guess it varies on the mom. I'm a FTM so take that for what its worth.

    I wouldn't take another personally. I didn't find the class I took when I was pregnant with my daughter 2.5 years ago very helpful.

    I'm not planning to take a birth class again, but will be doing the hospital tour since LandD has changed a lot since DS, and will take a CPR and breastfeeding class as a refresher.

    I wouldn't think anyone who retook the class is nuts! Lol. I am taking the hospitals class, but we have to use a different hospital this time, so I think it would be nice to know how this hospital does things, since it may be different. Honestly, even if you are going to te same hospital, since its been 5 years, they may have changed things as well, and you might want to know.

    I am a FTM but I have a thing about "classes"...no way you are getting my hormonal opinionated butt in any class right now...so no.  If you have a child already, you should be fine! I think it is still the same?  Feed, burp, change, repeat....

    I went the first time around, but I would say from being on the bump, and having the week by week pregnancy book I didn't learn anything new, it was however an eye opening experience for DH.

    I will not be doing it again, as we are having a RSC anyway but even if I wasn't I don't think I would learn anything new. I do agree with pp about the hospital visit though, especially after 5 years.
