Ladies delivering at Good Sam

I just called Good Sam to get info on a hospital tour and the woman on the phone informed me that you and your DH (or coach) are required to attend a (free) c-section class if you should want them in the room if a c-section is needed. Just thought I'd let everyone know

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

Hey Dina! My doctor told us about this too but said not to worry if we don't do it because no matter what he would make sure DH was in the room if I had to have a c-section so I'm not sure if we are going to do this....

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

She told me it was "mandatory" It is offered immediately after the tour, so I guess I will discuss it with my DH, but oh boy I am really starting to freak out! I feel like I have so much to do still and not a lot of time to do it.

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

yes i took it on 7/19. It was about an hour and a hallf and was very helpful for my DH

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

We took it in June - I was told that Good Sam was one of the only hospitals that require this. My friend never took it, but her dr told her not to worry about it.

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

hmmm since it is right after the tour and only and hour and a half I'm sure we will just do it since it's mandatory

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

Yup. I went to another class at the beginning of my pregnancy and we were told that it was mandatory. We're doing Lamaze too, so I guess we'll figure it out next month when that starts.

Re: Ladies delivering at Good Sam

DH and I took it last year and it was pretty informative actually. We were against it at first but then after taking the class we learned a lot.
