Hey, so, I have a question for the st parents who have already ben through child birth and had taken birthing classes: - kelly Oct 28, 11:36 20
- I'm thinking that if you've had sisters, friends etc go through it, are close to mom and aunts then you probably know much of it, If like so many ... - 2 Geisty for my Zeit Oct 28, 12:07
- "It's like hair giving birth to hair. Shut it off." -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 12:00
- On the first day of class, the instructor asked as all what we hoped to get out of the class. My answer? - psilotum Oct 28, 11:59
- We're glad we took them. The lessons helped, and the common vocabulary gave us an important way to talk during the stress of childbirth. -- nm - landbeck Oct 28, 11:58

  - Our insurance paid for our classes. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 11:43 4
    - weirdly, our insurance wouldn't, but the Medicaid coverage would. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 11:54
    - Nice. Ours wouldn't have. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:44
    - thank you for mentioning this; i hadn't considered this possibility. -- nm - skare Oct 28, 11:44 1
      - Also, be sure to know how many nights of a hospital stay insurance pays for. - Spawn Oct 28, 11:46
- Very much so. They included a tour of the hospital facilities we would be using, which was really great to have done. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 11:42 1
  - We took a hospital tour separately. (free tour once or twice a month) -- nm - psilotum Oct 28, 12:01

  - vampire teeth work well with formal wear. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 11:31
- well, they can, but they are lame. -- nm - Andie Oct 28, 11:30
- Seriously? You need to write in to an advice columnist about this? -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:29 4
  - heh, i'm actually kind of curious about the answer. i was invited to a costume party a couple of months ago and really didn't feel like going to the - skare Oct 28, 11:30 3

        other than actually trick-or-treating yourself, I assume... -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 11:40
        
        I was looking forward to it, too. Stupid work schedule. -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 11:37
      - [deleted]
      - then you definitely need more than the mask. everyone recognizes it by now. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 11:34 5
        
        if were actually going out and doing anything, sure. - znufrii Oct 28, 11:35 4
