Lamaze in E. Npt/Npt/Huntington area?
I've called the Lamaze instructor recommended by my OB's office twice - with no return call. I'm now 6.5 months pg and a little nervous about getting into a class in time. Can anyone in the Npt/E Npt/Huntington area recommend their class/instructor? I'm delivering at Huntington Hospital. TIA!

I can give you the phone number of someone who will come to your house to do a private session if you cant get anyone else. I waited too long as well and couldnt get into a class b/c they all met once a week for a few weeks.

I used a woman by the name of Karen. For the life of me, I can't remember her last name. Have you tried calling Huntington Hospital and asking them who they suggest (since the training is done in their hospital).

Re: Lamaze in E. Npt/Npt/Huntington area?
honestly, just go for the hospital tour, take out a birthing video at the library and you are good to go. I feel like lamaze was a waste, I think every birth is individual, I read books, went to lamaze and when it came down to it...I found the method that worked best for me, and that was pure quiet and massage. The L&D nurse even asked me "did you take lamaze???!!!!" because I did not remember any of the breathing methods, my vote is don;t waste your time

Thanks everyone! I'll call the hospital and ask about the free class and also who they recommend. My OB's office is a big group for HH, and the person they recommend just doesn't return calls! I'll ask about the woman named Karen too. TIA!
Emilain - I keep hearing that Lamaze is a waste of time, but I want to try anyway. I figure it can't hurt.

i dont think lamaze was a waste of time. it shows you have to relax and also teaches you about what to expect. my dh said he is glad we took it. i think recently they changed the format so its not all breathing its a little bit about breathing maybe 15 minutes and the rest of the class is what to expect. drugs, different types of births stuff like that. i was going to wgm and i had karen as my instructor and she taught the class at hh. fm if you have any questions.
