Did you take a birthing class?

Question

Answer

I’m a “wing it” type of person and I’m glad I didn’t take one since I ended up having a c-section with my first. However, I did take a breastfeeding course. I think it was very helpful.

Answer

We are currently taking a 3 week course. It’s 2.5 hours every Thursday. We have completed two class periods. I definitely have a better understanding of labor, which is super helpful! I think if I didn’t understand labor as well as I do now I would maybe go to the hospital too early. Last week we talked a lot about kind of what can go wrong, and that gave me a lot of anxiety. We talked about interventions like forceps and vacuum and such. I also found out that sometimes doctors have to break a baby’s collarbone to get them out, and that didn’t sit with me very well. These are all things that aren’t very common, but still very scary. Next week we focus more on relaxation techniques and such, which will be helpful because I want a natural birth. We have watched a lot of births, which was pretty eye opening. My significant other now knows he would rather not watch baby come out. Haha. It was $65 for both of us, and I have been pleased. I would recommend it for sure. I have also made some mommy friends!

Answer

I took a birthing class with my hubby with first baby and it was worth it! Awesome.

Answer

I took all the classes before I had my first. I mean, they are helpful to an extent. Obviously, it's nothing compared to the real thing, but I appreciated taking them with my husband and learning. I'm glad I did.

Answer

I don’t want to say no it wasn’t worth it, because it may be worth it to some people, I just didn’t. No real reason other than I was in a dark place my first pregnancy and really didn’t do anything but stay inside all day being sick. I had planned on it though.
