Re: Prenatal Classes

  • we took the express class (7 hour class that included labor/delivery; newborn care) with Amma- it was great & my hubby & I really enjoyed our teacher Meggin Carlson:  https://ammaparentingcenter.com/

  • We've taken all of our classes with Amma and have enjoyed them.  We've taken preparing for childbirth, newborn care, labor and delivery skills, and I still have breastfeeding to take.
  • We are taking the AMMA Prep for Childbirth and the Breastfeeding/NewbornCare combo class. Then we are taking the Birthing Intensive for Couples at Blooma. Haven't taken them yet, but have heard really good things about both and love the instructor - Bridget McGreevey at Blooma (she teaches prenatal yoga and is a former midwife with a great sense of humor).
  • With our first, we took the class through Regions which is still the same instructor - who I would highly NOT recommend!!!  You'll do yourself more service reading books and watch some TLC shows on L&D and going for a tour with one of the L&D nurses than wasting your time there...

    With our second, we didn't do any classes, we just went in with an open mind and talked with a few L&D Nurses we know and by far things went "easier" the second time around than the first because I wasn't afraid to advocate for myself.  Recovery was also much quicker.

  • I attend Pink Kit classes which are a set of downloadable DVDs only because myself and my partner found them more convenient and it worked well around our busy schedule. Check out this site for further information www.childbirthprogram.com 

  • We took a 2 day class at Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater because it was waaaay cheaper than the others. (It's my husbands hometown, so we go there a lot anyway.)
