Don't u have a friend or family member who can go with you? Does that mean you don't have a birthing partner?
I think when people see you in class alone you will get more support then you ever expected by the other women and their partners. I think the birthing class is going to benefit it you tremendously with or without a partner. Good luck keep us updated!
My mom and I do not get along well at all, so thats a no go. All my friends are back at school so none of them can go. The baby's father isn't involved so he wont go either. As for other family members they wont because they think my mom should be the one there. And no I do not have a birthing partner.
Thank you, I definitely will!! I'm so nervous b/c I feel like I'm definitely going to be the only one there without a partner.. :/
I didnt even want to go to the class b/c I don't have one
Many women do it without partners, will you be giving birth alone, besides the doctor? If so, then it's good practice to do it alone, as you'll be doing it alone in the delivery room. It was a GREAT class in my opinion, it taught me many things, especially in emergency scenarious, like loss of H/B of the baby during delivery, what they would be doing, and I would understand and not be as scared. I always thought, oh I'll have a perfect delivery, no complications, and I ended up with an emergency c-section because they lost his H/B and that class made me understand what they were doing it, and why they were doing it when they were rushing me to the O/R, I really recommend it, who cares if you're alone, and who cares if someone doesn't like you not having a partner, you're going to be prepared to the best of your abilities! Good luck!!
im going to one in next week and also will be alone i do feek awkward but i have no choice i dont want bd around me anywhere and usually my mom woukd go with me but i need her to watch my 3yo so its going to be a solo mission....kinda ***** but it is what it is
I had my birthing class today.. I wasn't the only single mom there. But I must say this, I took a Human Sexuality class last semester, and everything in the class today I already learned in that class. It was a waste of money.
