[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First timer here, I think I need to take a class but would love some info from DCUM. (delivering at Sibley)

- How long after water breaking did you go to the hospital? Or, how long did you labor at home?  WAS TOLD TO COME IN IMMEDIATELY (THIS WAS TWO DAYS BEFORE MY SCHEDULED C-SECTION FOR A BREECH BABY)
- What happens when you get there? Immediate epidural if you chose a medicated birth? NO I LABORED FOR A WHILE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO FIND DOCTORS, THEN THEY TOOK ME INTO THE C-SECTION ROOM, GAVE ME THE EPIDURAL AND DID THE C-SEDCTION
- What unusual items did you bring with you that were a life saver?  NOTHING
- At what point do you have to stop with snacks and start with ice chips? N/A
- Was the lactation consultant at the hospital enough? Was a follow-up lactation consultant useful? Was the LC in addition to a doula or was this a combo pack? SHE WAS HELPFUL, I NEEDED FOLLOW UPS. THIS 100% DEPENDS ON YOUR BOOBS AND YOUR BABY, OBVS
- What did your hospital give you? Diapers, underwear etc. EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR THINGS 
- How many had night nurse/doula help at home? Pros/cons? LOL NO
- Pelvic floor therapy? Yes/no/recs. What is the equivalent for a C-section? I DIDN'T NEED THIS, JUST ASK YOUR OB, OBVS
- Post-partum therapy? Is this a specialist? I DIDN'T NEED THIS, JUST ASK YOUR OB, OBVS
- What classes did you take before? What is there for DHs that is helpful? BIRTH CLASS ENDED UP BEING UNNECESSARY B/C C-SECTION BUT THE BABY CARE PART WAS GOOD
- local  parent groups? baby and me classes? WE CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS YOU TELL US WHERE YOU LIVE, DUH
