Expectant Mom & Prenatal Classes
Hi,
I'm a 27 wk 1st time expectant mature mom who has just newly moved to Toronto. My hubby is doing a medical physics residency and I am trying to find time for him and I to take prenatal classes. Now, I'm a practical nurse and I'm not sure if I'm just not a curious person by nature or just don't know what I don't know. I feel like I have a grasp on what's going to happen at birth (we're getting an elective C-section) so I'm not sure if prenatal classes are going to be all that necessary as I won't be going through the birthing process the same.
Of course, who knows what can happen!
I have a birth plan that if I go into early labor, I am willing to try for a natural birth, but this is my 1st pregnancy so, I do feel like the likelihood is for it to go longer than for me to have premature labor. Anyway, Ontario system is a bit different from SK and I'm seeing so many online prenatal classes with different topics and part of me assumed they'd be in class but I don't know if that's possible with my husband's busy schedule. So I guess my question is, is it necessary to do prenatal classes - for those who had elective C-section? Did you find in class better than online?
I have seen private sessions rather than through the health authority, would you recommend that route over the ones offered through hospitals/health authority?
