Are any of you ladies taking classes? DH and I are taking birthing classes and breast feeding classes along with a hospital tour, I'll also be taking my daughter to the sibling classes.
The spread sheet we made has everyone's due date on it, so does the blog.
Yeah I know but I'm on mobile and it gets really confusing to look at. Plus I wanted to see if any else was taking classes and when they were signing up for them
Me! I'm not on a ton to reply to messages - but I try to read as much as I can.
We are taking refresher courses with my doula who is a childbirth educator as well. Not until around 30 weeks though. I like the idea of sibling classes - but I don't think they offer those here. Boo.
April 4th here. My hospital encouraged me to sign up for classes sooner rather than later. My birthing class and breast feeding class are both in mid February.
I'm due the first so pretty close! Probably won't be doing classes. My Hospital is 65 miles away and the classes they offer would be too hard to get to. I did take classes with dd#1 so I feel pretty prepared. The sibling classes sound pretty cool though! Good luck with everything!
I am due 4/3/14 and you just made me freak out a bit that we have not registered for a class yet. I asked DH about it and he was like "Do we really have to?"...my response..."Well considering we have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what we are doing...YES!"
Me! I'm due 4/4/14. No birthing classes for us cause I don't see the point in taking them again. Plus even though the class we took last time was great, my labor came on so fast and so hard right away that everything I was taught basically was forgotten completely in the heat of the moment. Lol my nurse had to, in a very snippy tone (I was admittedly being a bitch) tell me that it'd hurt a lot less if I'd just breathe through the contractions and not tense up (which, btw, is your first instictive response to pain). Once she reminded me of that, it all came back to me and I was much better.
4/4 here as well. I'm not going to any classes since this is my 3rd baby since 2010 but I am doing the hypnobabies home study (haven't started yet) and reading more birthing books.
I'm due the 4th. No classes for me. I took one with my first, but ended up with a c-section. I am having another c-section this time. I do plan to take my son to sibling classes though. Still waiting for the schedule from the hospital.
I'm 4/4! No classes for me. I didn't take any last time either. I don't do well in the classroom setting. I know I'd just zone out so it'd be a waste of time.
Well my actual due date is later in April but my HR doctors will not let me go past April 5 at the latest so I guess thats kinda like my due date now? Anyway I am a STM and will have a RSC so we are not taking classes. We did take them last time but I ended up with a CS, it was nice just to have the info though. We did the full 2 day on the weekend instead of 6 weeks on a week night.
They do fill up quickly though! I was due in Feb with my first with the idea that it may happen earlier in Jan so we called in early Oct to schedule and the Dec and Jan classes were all already full! We ended up getting squeezed into one at the end of Nov!
Me! Haven't even started thinking about classes yet, though I know we'll sign up for one or two. There's a dedicated center in the next town over that just does birthing/breastfeeding classes so availability is usually not an issue.
I'm due the third and the classes at the more popular locations are all filled! I'm going to register today. I feel REALLY clueless about babies so I'm going to take a cpr class, bf class, and a general care class. Debating if I should take a preparing for delivery class. Kind of want to be ignorant about the whole process so I don't freak out ahead of time of what's to come! What do you guys think -should I take the last one?
My original due date was 4/4 but I'm having my twins via c section on 3/21. I haven't signed up for any classes yet but I definitely want to go to a breast feeding class.
I'm the 4th but probably not on the spreadsheet. This is my 3rd in 4 years so I'm not taking anything. The only thing I'm doing this time is having a doula because I'm trying for a vba2c.
Re: Who else has the EDD of April 4th??
Then I peed on a stick...
Not a lot of 4/4/14 moms
