Murrr, MrsE, Chrishvny and ladies that delivered @ Vassar
At my appt on Friday my doctor gave me a brochure for the prenatal classes that Vassar offers. Did you take any of these classes (specifically the childbirth prep and pediatric cpr). Also, I see that there's a free tour and I was curious if you took any of the classes did they also do a tour or would I have to sign up for that separately. I know I can call and ask some questions too but I'd like some personal experiences. TIA! 
Re: Murrr, MrsE, Chrishvny and ladies that delivered @ Vassar
We took the childbirth prep class and we both got SO much out of it. More than anything though, it calmed both of our nerves. They did offer a free tour while we were there.
They showed a labor/delivery room and a recovery room. They pointed out where c/s were performed. They showed the private cafeteria and explained how the baby/mom bracelet and security tags work. It was very informative. I recommend this class : )
100% this. we chose the 5 week (week night) class as opposed to the saturday class. Although I think they cover the same material, just more condensed on the weekends.
I think it helped us both so much because it covered so many aspects that you could encounter... and the teacher was great she answered questions that we had no matter how "crazy" they may have been.
I also took a breast feeding course there (I actually met Murrr there for the first time!) i thought it was interesting and well informed.
With H's work schedule we never ended up being able to do the classes but did do the tour. It was nice knowing where we were going before we got there. As far as the classes I don't feel like I missed anything. The nurses were great and talked me through everything and explained everything that was going on beforehand. If i was nervous about anything they did their best to fix the situation and calm my nerves.
My only suggestion is to call soon bc when I did call about possiblly doing the classes they were all booked and could only give me the Sat before my due date anyway.
we skipped the classes, but I did the BFing class, that was awesome.
