I need to vent. I've been signed up for 4 different birthing classes and my one for this weekend just got canceled. I'm now scheduled for Feb. 14 but I'm due THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH! AHHH. I'm freaking out. The first class I had registered for online but it said to call for availability so I did.. for days.. and they didn't call to tell me I was good to come to the class until 1 hour before it was set to start. They then registered us for the next birthing class series which got canceled due to low census. Then they let me know of the next all day class (I assumed they registered us as they did after the first one) but then I called a week or so later to confirm and it was full. Then I confirmed my registration for this weekend and they emailed me back to confirm. Wtf- they had my email the whole time? I'm so annoyed. Sorry there's no real question. Well has anyone taken a birthing class? Was it helpful? What was most helpful? I'm freaking out over it
How frustrating!!! I am taking one with hubby. It is 4 weeks had the first class last thursday. The first one kinda freaked me out more than anything lol. But good info.
jap618 That is really annoying. I just signed up for mine. They are only offered monthly. I hope mine doesn't get snowed out because I can't mske the one in March and the April one is 3 weeks before I am due. I've heard there is good info provided and the do a tour of L&D. I hope it all works out for you.

That is super annoying that they have been so hard to reach and annoying regarding scheduling. Are these classes at your hospital? So now do you have an all-day class on the 14th? Aside from the fact that it may be tiring because you are getting close to your due date, maybe it's good that it's close so you can retain all of the info? did you look for any other options? I am taking my classes at a women's resource center instead of the hospital. Babies R Us also has classes on infant CPR, breastfeeding and infant care.

Hi ladies, so I failed my GTT....not to thrilled about that. will be scheduled for my 3 hour test today. I am trying not to borrow trouble, I might not even have GD. However I am worried as having a previous stillbirth increases risk for GD next time around (I wonder why?) and GD increases risk of still birth I just hope I pass so I don't have so much anxiety.

Yeah its just the birthing class that I'm really interested in taking. It's through my hospital and includes the tour. I looked elsewhere but they are $130 more or at neighboring hospitals which includes a tour of their hospital which seems useless to me. I'm just nervous because everyone is predicting that I'll have her early I know there's no way to know but people and their hypothetical time lines are stressing me out!!

Hi all! 30 weeks.... Dealing with a bunch of kidney stone BS and maybe pelvic stretching type pain? I'm not sure.
[br
I am so sorry that you are dealing with kidney stones. That just sounds awful.
Thanks.. It is but i am trying to bear with it. Injust wish they would pass so i can know if the pain i feel is stone or pregnancy related. I think my pelvis is spreading too? But can't tell it all feels the same.

FX you pass the 3 hour. You do not need anymore reasons to be anxious.

This kept happening to us, and I was really stressing about it because the "next available class" for us ended up being a 4 weeks session at 37w for me which I was NOT ok with. I ended up looking into a local birth doula who offered private classes. They were comparable price-wise with the hospital classes and I feel like we got a lot more out of them than we would have in a group class. We weren't interested in hiring her for our birth but she was really great with us and was also more flexible in terms of working with our schedule.

FX you pass your 3hr and you have one less things to worry about.

I know we had this on TB but I have a best friend going through a 1t m/c. How/when should I notify her (at all) when I go into labor or have the baby? I was thinking I would text her my induction date when she asks me how I'm doing and then say that she can let me know when she's ready for baby info but I won't just text her. Does that seem legit?

Hi all!! I'm about to start week 19 and PgAL brain is in full force!!! First of all - I haven't had any bleeding or any cramps, but for some reason I'm convinced that we won't see a healthy baby at our AS in 12 days.
Don't ask me why - I know it's irrational, but I'm so fearful that something is wrong.
We've had two successful doppler sessions where we had a 150 hb and the Dr. said it was exactly what he liked to hear.
I guess the reason for the freak out is it seems like I can't feel my ute getting a whole lot bigger or rising closer to my belly button. I am a little "fluffy" and have wide hips so my mom said baby has more room to spread out side to side and I might not feel as much "upward growth" this early. I do feel my ute and it seems like it's getting more firm so that's a good sign.
Also-movement. I do think I've felt movement a few times but it's still sporadic at this point (which I've read is normal) I just still feel movement low and not too close to my belly button. And at the last appt they found the hb real low. Which my Dr. said was normal.
Basically all that to say: everything so far has been normal and I have no reason to feel like my baby is not okay...other than PgAL brain. It's a cruel bitch.
My DH and I are leaving tomorrow to go on a week long vacation to Tennessee and we have our AS 4 days after we come back. I'm hoping this trip will take my mind off our upcoming appointment and I will be able to relax and have a good time.
Ugh....this sucks Hoping for a good AS so I can finally start feeling attached to this baby. I've had people ask me if I'm excited and deep down I am, but mostly I just feel like I'm holding on for dear life and being thankful for every minute that goes by without seeing blood on the TP.
creechmommy: Everything you said struck a chord with me -- I'm starting week 17 and also suffering from PGAL brain until our AS, which is a long time away. Have a wonderful trip to Tennessee and (((HUGS))) in the meantime! I hope your AS is wonderful!

creechmommy I didn't feel movement till after my 20 week scan. Also I didn't really show much either. After about 21 weeks i started feeling more regular movements. ::hugs:: hang in there lady!
Post by backstreetpixie on Feb 9, 2015 12:13:10 GMT -5
chicagojackie. i think sending her an email or a text asking what would make her most comfortable. Let her know you don't want to upset her by talking about it but also don't want her to feel left out so you just would like to know how/when she would like to be informed. Also that you completely understand if she doesn't want to hear about it for a while. ::hugs:: this is hard.
