I was debating about when to sign up for child birth and maybe breast feeding classes. I think I should wait until closer or else I feel like I will forget. Maybe around 30-32 weeks?
Sign up now the breastfeeding class usually are filled up fast with my son I didn't even get it in 0 -

I just started my childbirth classes (I'm only 20 weeks) because they filled up fast. I'm the earliest in the class but I don't have any difficulty standing up, getting down on the floor, moving around, etc. so I think I'm glad we are going this early. Makes it a lot more comfortable!0 -
The classes offered at my hospital are $150 for birthing classes, and like $50 for breastfeeding classes. Which is out of my budget right now

I wouldn't worry about it. If you are goin gto have a "natural", drug free birth you might want to try and read some books or watch a youtube video. Otherwise, the doc/nurse will talk you through it. Either way you will go home with a baby. As far as the breastfeeding goes, there is usually a lactation consultant on staff at the hospital. Call/google your local la leche league to find out about free classes.The classes offered at my hospital are $150 for birthing classes, and like $50 for breastfeeding classes.

Anatomy scan done, everything looks great. He (yep confirmed he's a boy so we don't have to return all those clothes :laugh: ) is measuring about a week ahead. Makes sense since his Dad is 6'2" and i'm 5'9", he's gonna be a lanky boy!
I go back for my third trimester scan in 8 more weeks!0 -

I'm taking one that will end about a month before my due date. The next doesn't start until October 4 and that would just be cutting it too close!
The paperwork I got from my doc said to sign up *before* 20 weeks because spaces fill quickly, but when I called a while back I was told it was "way too early" for late Oct due dates and to call back when I'm 23-25 weeks. I hope I can get a space as my due date falls approximately 9 months after Valentines. Could be a busy time at the classes/birthing unit! (However, mine is a pre-Valentine's baby! Just couldn't wait for V-day.

Hey ladies! I'm just joining this group. I'm 24 weeks along with our first (a girl!), due September 25th. I'm hoping to monitor my calories to stay within a healthy weight range, as well as getting back into a workout routine. I was really active on MFP before I found out I was pregnant back in January. Then I got lazy and gained about ten pounds by 15 weeks. I didn't mean to but I had horrid morning sickness and the only thing that would keep it at bay was a full stomach. So needless to say, that weight was unnecessary. But morning sickness went away right around 15 weeks and so far I've hit 20 pounds. I'm not really worried though since I was at a healthy weight pre-pregnancy, and my midwife isn't concerned either. My tentative goal is to not gain more than 40 pounds total, but of course my top priority is a healthy and happy baby I've almost made it to the 3rd trimester.... It's really flying by!! 0

When someone tells me that she likes to think of birth as "juicy", I immediately shut down. I thought my husbands eyes were going to roll into the back of his head.0

Had my (almost) 20 week check-up/ultrasound today. The tech was 92% sure...but we don't know yet! Finding out tomorrow evening at our Gender Reveal/Pink & Blue Party with some of our family and friends. I'm thinkin' Blue, but who knows!! Other than that, baby was healthy, measuring right on schedule, and I'm excited to finally give this baby a name:)0

You also may want to contact your local WIC office about breastfeeding. I'm not sure if you qualify but they always have a lactation consultant (a good friend is the one for our local office) and they are extremely PRO-breastfeeding. Its too bad that your hospital charges so much, both of our local hospitals offers them for free which is so nice. Good luck!0 -
I've been checking out daycare enrollment... Holy Cow! So expensive! I'm 2 1/2 hours away from my closest family members which is usually fine but right now I really wish my mom and sisters were closer
I'm hoping to find an in-home daycare provider but no luck yet. This is so tough!0 -

Go online to your local social services dept and they should have a list of qualified in home daycare providers as well as centers. That is how I found my in home day care for my first one.0 -
I signed up for birthing class and I found out it's free...so even better. We are doing an 8hr Saturday class on October 3, so a little over a month before the due date! Hopefully my husband doesn't get too bored! I also need to start looking into daycare. My parents live about 30 minutes away and are willing to help, but I need a back up, so I need a day care that won't mind various hours.0

Hey ladies my time has come to move in!!! Should be 14 weeks on Thursday but had my NT scan today and the baby is measuring 13w 1d, doctor said is no problem. Everything is looking great and the doctor gave me a 90% that it is a GIRL!!! So excited :bigsmile: This will be my second, DD is 2 years old, I'm due 10 days after DD birthday so she'll be 3 when baby sis arrives!!! Can't wait for December!! It has officially become my favorite month lol both my queens are December babies

Don't worry I took that class with my last pregnancy it goes by quickly they even show you a video of an actually birth, so prepare Hubby for that one lol.
The hospital I plan to give birth offer two sibling classes. One to prepare them for a newborn in the house and the other is if the sibling will be at 3 years old at the time of birth the class prepares them to be present at the BIRTH!!! I'll be signing up for both classes in a couple of more months. Hoping this baby arrives at a decent time so Big Sis can be there!!!

Hello 2nd Tri Friends!! I'm freshly 2nd tri at 12 weeks 6 days.. I had my ultrasound last week - which was great.. heartbeat of 170!! That little baby was squirming like crazy - apparently doesn't like his/her pic taken lol. I'm anxious to get my baby bump - right now all 4 pounds that I've gained are belly, but it's not a cute bump for sure - it's more like a blob! lol. I'm def having some body image issues, but I guess that comes with the territory. First trimester I was soo exhausted - I'm getting a little better now, and I'm anxious to get back to the gym!! Baby coming Dec 20th!0
-
jessdeweerdt : welcome! This trimester has been great for me so far - belly gets bigger and harder, and you start to see that round shape coming through, i'm at 16 weeks and i've seen big changes already!0
-
jess- Your energy will come back! Slowly but surely. And before you know it, you'll feel almost normal again! It's such a nice feeling to not be so zombie-ish. Oh body image issues. I'm 20 weeks 2 days and I'm still in the in-between stage. I look pregnant if you know I'm pregnant, but if you don't know, I just look a little thick. I'm coming to terms with it finally, but it does take a while. Some of the ladies on here have said it best, you're growing a person! Be proud of the miracle and be thankful our bodies are allowing us to do so. That helps me. Oh- and welcome to the second tri!
pc- congrats on your second girl! Your December is going to be full of excitement!
blink- thank you! I just looked that up and there are a ton of listings of qualified/registered daycares. Very helpful. Thank you!
6 days until my ultrasound Another fun update- we decided on our crib (buying from BRU) and found a matching dresser and crib table on craigslist (along with a nice pack n play, extra crib and high chair) for under $200. I'm really pumped and hope the CL thing works out. I have to have my MIL pick it up because it's 2 hours from me (only 45 minutes from her).
Have a great day ladies!0 -
Jess - I know what you mean I just want to start showing!! I'm 14 weeks and still feel bloated lol when I lay down I can def feel the bump tho so I know it can't be long now lol!!0
