ftm is it really that important to go to those classes where they teach you to breathe and such?

My opinion not really I went to those with my first & I never used anything they taught me. you forget about breathing when you're actually there having a baby. the important thing to know is to just stay calm it's gonna hurt like hell but stay calm. & do not hold your breath! if you hold your breath your holding the contraction longer which really hurts

Im a ftm and Im not taking any classes and I'll be 30weeks on Thursday. if you want to take them you can .. its really up to you.

thanks @alegria10 . I just have been thinking about it. cause who ever really has time to go to those classes.

@mommy2be, I don't think I'm going to take them. always growing up you see on TV that you should go to them and stuff

It wasnt my preference even when i was a ftm i didnt need for someone to tell me how to breathe through the contractions or anything else it kind of just came natural for me & it worked for me i probably could have went natural but i didnt want to be uncomfortable the whole time...its all up to you at the end
