Hey, so, I have a question for the st parents who have already ben through child birth and had taken birthing classes:

Posted by kelly Oct 28 '11, 11:36

Ultimately, were the classes worth it, or a waste of money?

There is now debate over whether I need a c section at all, but I am hesitant to pay for and take another class that I may not need.

Thanks!

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

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
I think that, if nothing else, it helps to get the dad a little more acclimated to stuff - prayformojo Oct 28, 11:48 4

  - I took one of those. "Daddy Bootcamp"... moderately enjoyable and fairly educational. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 28, 11:59

We didn't take classes for either of our boys. Always seemed like a waste of money to me. - Jim Oct 28, 11:43 5
- 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
