Anyone take birth classes with their first? My doctor keeps asking me if I'm going to take the classes at the hospital. I honestly have no desire to take them. Was it beneficial at all or a waste of time?

I'm a ftm and I'm definitely going to take them. my mom said it helped her a lot with my older sister and she would recommend them to anyone :) She said they even teach you how to push!

@mommyof3preciousbabies, why waste of time? I was thinking of taking the classes too. They don't help?

It just wasn't beneficial for me. Those classes don't help when it comes down to really having a baby. This is, however, my opinion. Go with your gut though! If you really want to do them, then go. If you don't care either way, then don't. @39surp

I never took birthing classes I heard they was a waste of time and didn't help so I just went with it

Thanks for your input @mam426 @mommyof3preciousbabies @naomiedgd. I read everything I possibly can, watch documentaries, watch YouTube vidoes, talk to friends and family that have had kids vaginally and c section. I just have no desire to take a whole day and sit in a class that may not give me much new information. My biggest concern is breastfeeding and I know there will be a lactation consultant at the hospital giving me one on one help when the baby is here. idk...

@wyatts_mommy_0106, that's how I feel. My body was made to do this can't I just wing it? lol I'm normally a very relaxed, laid back person, and I'm really not nervous about it at all. My body will do what it needs to do.

Exactly, I agree with you. & That's precisely what it is, repetitive information. You'll do just fine, I assure you! The doctors & nurses will definitely help guide you through your labor & delivery & there is always a lactation consultant & they are extremely caring & helpful!

That's how I felt so I told my Dr I wasn't gonna be taking any birthing classes and plus the nurses walk you through everything as it is so it would be a waste of time. Our bodies know what to do and when you have a nurse telling you what to do and keep reminding you to breath it is easy lol in a sense
