Birth Class

We had our first birth class last night, poor DH had to watch a natural birth video on his birthday.

I really felt like birth class was kind of like my high school sex education unit. It's going to be a long few weeks... Especially when DH has to watch a birth with a epidural and a c-section. Luckily, I'm not phased by these things.

Re: Birth Class

  • We did the one day birth class. I had initially wanted the 6 week session, but the facilitator was a freaking weirdo, and I'm not sure I would have gone back after the first class.

  • We have ours on 9/21 and took the all day class. DH's one request was wanting to do the all day class.

  • They didn't offer a 1 day class, I would have so done that! Ours is 5 classes and 1 breast feeding class. They're all 2 hours long and corny as hell.

  • Our hospital doesn't offer a one day class so we had to go to 4 classes. We watched videos of a few births.

  • We took a 10 week course and watched videos each time.  It was pretty gorey, lol, but H learned a lot!

  • Ours is a 4 week class (2 down,
    2 to go) and I actually kind of hate it. Our instructor talks to us like we're children and even uses a baby talk kind of tone. She also constantly says, "guess what" and it drives me nuts. I've not learned anything useful that I didn't already know yet but DH has slightly so I guess that's good.

    I guess the birthing positions we learned last week were kind of informative but even then it wasn't a huge a-ha for us.

    The videos are cheesy and I agree that it feels more like a high school sex ed rather than an informative birthing class for adults.
