I have always wanted to have kids but I never really thought about how much work it is and how hard it is. Also I don’t think I have ever been so unprepared for anything in my entire life! It’s not like I have never been around kids because I have. I spent years and years babysitting my little cousins and spending lots of time with them. Did I ever realize what bringing those tiny little humans into the world entailed? Not a chance!
This week I was lucky enough to have the chance to check out the Sanford B4 Baby Class. Do I wish I went before I was 6 months pregnant? Yep! It would have helped me out a lot but if you are reading this now and considering having children or newly pregnant you defiantly want to add this class to your list!
Instead of spending all your time on the internet trying to find answers to your questions you can physically talk to providers who give you the correct answers. The Sanford B4 Baby Class has providers from Finance, Reproductive Medicine, Genetic Counselors, Obstetrics (OB), Family Medicine Obstetrics, Certified Nurse Midwives, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Birth Designers, Nutrition and Fitness, Doulas, Pediatrics and Lactation.
This week at my doctors appointment Dr. Kappenman and I talked about my pelvic and back pain and he recommended I take a hot shower or bath. Do you know what I have been doing for the past 6 months? TAKING COLD SHOWERS AND COLD BATHS!! Spending 45 minutes in a bath tub shivering while trying to relax my body! Could this have been prevented? 100 PERCENT! Maybe if I would have asked my doctor instead of reading some random post online about how you should only have cold showers and baths.
That right there is just one of the many reasons I recommend the B4 Baby Class. The B4 Baby Class gives you the tools you need to have a happy and healthy pregnancy.
