Please let me know if it's worth your time. Was it a free class? We had to pay $95 buckaroos so I'm hoping for an educational day! Bring your own socks. No brainer! I'm between 3 pairs now and will wear pink/blue depending on the gender :) Our birth class is next Sunday all day too! Please let me know if it’s worth your time. Was it a free class?

We actually prefer you wear them on the waxed floors than your own. Yours will very likely get sullied with birthin' fluids, so i suggest asking the nurse on admit for socks.

I totally agree with the marathon class idea--get it over with! You will probably be one of the more knowledgeable people there, and frankly, a lot of it will be ground you probably covered in your readings before. Just don't let it overwhelm you! As for the socks, I so did not care AT ALL by the time I was doing it---and for the life of me---I can't remember. I ended up with an emergency C, so I got the squishy boots anyways...and thats what I remember about my feet. :-) Good luck on your class.

I WILL, however, tell you that you have to stop worrying about your work. Your work will survive if something unexpected happens. They will have to deal with it. You have to think about YOU and SQUISHY, not work!!!! I hope that you carry to full term, of course, but if it happens a couple of weeks early, they will survive!

I happily put on the hospital socks and wore them the entire time (luckily had no mess when standing up). There were actually a couple of pairs in the room so they both went home with me. :-) Oh and I am NOT an advocate of taking anything you care about (pillows, favorite pajamas, etc). I ended up throwing up during the pushing stage and of course it went all over the hospital pillows, which I was happy about because they took them and cleaned them and brought me new pillows with fresh cases and it was fabulous. And I just never saw the point to wearing pretty jammies given that what you have just been through definitely puts you in a position to ruin them fairly easily. That's just my two cents.

Ask your OB if your birth-place-of-choice gives out socks to its patients. At my big city hospital, they gave me a pair of socks.
