Many people are intrigued by the idea of online classes delivered at a pace that suits their needs, in the convenience of their own home or workplace, but worry that this type of prenatal instruction is too unconventional. “Wouldn’t we be better off taking the hospital course?”, they wonder.
Intense Reality of Life with Twins, Triplets or More
One of the reasons I began this business was because my husband and I felt that the prenatal classes we took while pregnant with Alex and Simon did not prepare us for the intense reality of life with twins. Firstly, we didn’t really get anything from our classes that we hadn’t already read in a book somewhere. Secondly, none of the hospital instructors were parents of multiples, so while we got a lot of good medical information, we didn’t hear an honest account of what it was REALLY going to be like, bringing home more than one newborn.
And while we enjoyed some of the activities presented in the course, there was a lot of “sit and git”, something I as a constructivist educator am totally opposed to! By working through an online course at your own pace, you get the information you need, when you need it. You can sit and work for as long or short a time as is comfortable or possible for you in each session. You can go back and revisit specific lesson information at any time during the course, and of course, with BabiesInBelly, you always have access to the instructor by email any hour of the day or night.
Unique Issues Related to Multiple Births
The other issue for many is finding a prenatal course that caters specifically to multiple births. As you may have already discovered, being pregnant with twins, triplets or more is vastly different than being pregnant with a singleton. The more experience I acquire, the more I am confirmed in my belief that good, multiples-specific prenatal instruction, begun early on in the pregnancy and continued as post-natal support (if possible) can save time, money, heartache and much emotional and physical trauma for both parents and their multiple-birth children.
We were lucky; in Toronto, there are two to three twins-specific prenatal classes taught at the bigger downtown hospitals (though you still have to fight traffic and pay for parking!) But outside the city core, expectant parents are hard-pressed to find a prenatal course that specializes in multiple births. Whether you live in Toronto or anywhere else in the world, BabiesInBelly is accessible to you in your own home, at the office, in a local cafe, or anywhere you and your partner have Internet access!
