Kaiser offers a plethora of pregnancy-related classes - most of them are free (bonus). We'll get to take Lazmaze, Infant CPR, Breastfeeding and Baby Care Basics.
Yesterday, Adam and I went to a Healthy Pregnancy Class designed for first trimester parents-to-be.
In typical kaiser fashion - they doublebooked the room. So the classroom we were supposed to be in was being used for a Lamaze class -- and they sent us to the basement classroom. Really Kaiser - you offer this class one day a month and you doublebook?
The first hour was taught by a nurse and was about overall pregnancy dos and don'ts. The second hour was a nutritionist talking to us about what we should be eating.
If I lived in a cave, didn't buy a book or had never gone online - the class would have been helpful.
Instead - it was two hours of redundency. I think it helped Adam somewhat (and he wasn't the only guy in class).
Plus - a Power Point presentation in printouts is totally lame.
There were people at all stages of pregnancy in the class. One woman was due in October. I'm thinking - you're doign this now? If this is new to you, you might have bigger problems.
I would have loved more insight into the other classes - but we were just told, call the class line and book (we were also told that they sell many things at their store).
We're both looking forward to the Baby Care class (I wonder if I'll get Babysitting class flashbacks).
