I wish u could do polls on this app but My question: how many of you ladies didn’t do birthing classes??

🙋

🙋

I didn’t. Being a mom came naturally for me

And do you regret not doing it? Jw

I haven’t done any and I don’t believe I will.

Me!

I dot regret it. It’s basically just mentally preparing yourself. You can do that for free on your own

@thepaige16, I explained it exactly like that to my SO, but his mom keeps bringing it up, and I started second guessing myself. But I’ve researched and been mentally preparing for awhile now so I didn’t feel like I needed to add to everything else I need to do rn lol

I took a birthing class and I absolutely loved it! I learned things I was unaware of and felt it informed me on a lot. However, I don’t think the class is gonna help me be a better mother. I feel like being a mom is something you can never prepare for, and you don’t know how to respond or react until you have that baby in your hands and are actually doing the mom duty. So do the class or don’t. I’m positive it’s not gonna determine whether your gonna be good or bad at it!!! (:

I didnt do it either if you research and watch videos if your worried then youll be fine

I would love to do a birthing class but they are so expensive in NYC. So I will probably not take a class.

@ellyium, they make you pay?

@selena_lalu, he does, we have a mutual friend that lost her baby to SIDS but he might need guidance in the whole comforting. Sometimes he’s awesome and others not so much, but I kinda think once labor goes into play he’s gonna be on his toes.. everyone voted at my baby shower everyone thinks he’s just gonna faint anyway 😂 if he listens to me we should be alright lol

I took one for my first born and i honestly love it i did learn alot:) people think its point less but it does help!

@joyfulmom2b, lol. Sorry I deleted my comment. Didn’t want to come off strong. I’m sure you and him will be just fine(:

@selena_lalu, lol it’s fine.. a lot of the time there is stuff u know or can research. And no doubt a lot of learning along the way too; and thank you

@selena_lalu yeah. Some places offer free classes but you have to be a member (and pay for a membership) or already going to that specific clinic.

I haven't. There is YouTube. Iol. I learn so many things by video nd reading. No lamaze class for me. People have been giving birth since the beginning of time. ..I well be just fine. Amen

@kimyb, very true!!

I attended a breastfeeding class that was very useful, and only one newborn care class. I wished I had been to more of those, but I watched a video on YouTube that was more helpful than the class. If you're interested, I'll share the link with you.

@argiemom29, yeah couldn’t hurt to check it out, thank u
