Can't make it, we are taking a baby class at the hospital.  Has anybody else taken something like this?  Is it worth our time or not, the doctor recommended it.

[socalrappy700]

Was kind of baby class is it?  I would highly recomend the baby first aid and CPR.

[Peelz]

The lamaze classes were relaxing, and very informative. Like E said, especially the baby cpr first aid class. They offered a siblings class here that was awesome.

Candidate Bill Clinton and Gennifer Flowers mutually accuse each other of lying about whether or not they had a 12 year affair. Of course from Clinton's testimony in 1998 we know they did have such an affair, but that is the least of the President's problems. Can you say "sperm soaked dress"?

Was kind of baby class is it?  I would highly recomend the baby first aid and CPR.

This is the prep for birth class so that we will have an idea of what will be going on in the delievery room and other things associated with the delivery.  I will have to look for a baby first aid class, I would assume any hospital would offer it.

I wouldn't say that is something you need to go to.  You'll learn enough about that in the lamaze classes.  Our lamaze instructor went over all that stuff.
