Prenatal classes

What do you think about prenatal classes?
Are you planning on attending one or have done one when you were pregnant?

I read up on what you do in those classes and decided not to attend one when I was pregnant. It just did not make sense for me to go as I don’t think they could have shown me anything to make my labour any easier than it was in the end.

Would be interested to know what you think about that?

Before my first birth, I decided to attend a prenatal class. It was a good experience, and I found myself well prepared for the birth. The parents that I met at these classes were very nice and I'm still in contact with some of them.

what was it that you were told or tought in that class? I can´t think of anything that I did not read up on before. Sure you get to meet other mums to be which I guess would have been nice.

I have really enjoyed taking prenatal classes. I feel like it has helped me just during the pregnancy and of course, I look forward to using my new skills during labor, but I am very glad I did. There are different types of classes, so maybe some are not that useful, but for me reading about it didn't help nearly as much as hands-on instruction.
