第一次在UCSD的Perlman Medical Office，La Jolla院區產檢時，看診的是我的助產士(Midwife)。助產士俱有Nurse Practitioner的資格，不同於一般護士。當時她有推薦兩個課程給我：

兩個課程總共 $100 USD，算是很合理的價格。如果對其他教學醫院提供的產前課程有興趣，請參考UCSD網頁，內有更多的選擇與更詳細的資訊：<其他生產、產前相關課程請點這裡>
UCSD的各項課程都很受歡迎，早點打電話預約比較可能選到最適合自己的時間與地點。我住在學校附近，所以Thornton Hospital(就在Perlman Medical Office旁邊那棟大樓，兩棟大樓可以經由室內的walk-way互通)對我而言是比較好的地點；對住在接近downtown的人而言，UC San Diego, Hill Crest應該會是比較方便的選擇，坐公車可以到。另外，這些課程似乎只開放給在醫院看診的孕婦，打電話時請準備好平常在UCSD掛號時用的Medical Record Number，還有Credit Card或者Debit Card，因為需要馬上付款。
目前我以經超過32周了，精神體力明顯沒有懷孕中期來得好，現在上課，效果應該會打折扣吧？最好的上課時間，恐怕是在懷孕中期接近後期，體力好，上課內容又不需要記太久。XDD

妳會去上給couple的嗎，如果老公不上有沒有影響啊，我想可能我報名一人去的，我老公工作輪班如果不能每周去，又好像白費了。
請問，妳老公是唯一跟妳一起在國外生產的人嗎？如果是的話，可能比較不划算。但是如果有其他人會陪妳一起(朋友或者家人)，可以詢問她們有沒有辦法跟妳一起去。 另外，我在想如果不能有人陪的話，可以事先問授課單位是不是可以準備錄音設備，把上課內容錄起來，回家再放給老公或者會幫忙生產的人聽。如果不能錄音的話，可能就只剩下做筆記這方法了。 我想，老公能去是最好。我記得美國有法令，先生可以請假與申請福利，世面上有些相關書籍可以查得到。我手上有一本叫做"Your Pregnancy--for the Father-to-Be"其中有章節講到適用於間有孕婦的的先生的法規、可利用資源等等。另外，有個章節是講Childbirth Preparation, Labor, and Delivery (pp. 205-324)。書的話可以到公立圖書館找找看，不見得需要用買的。 我是說在美國的狀況，不知道妳在加拿大是不是一樣。祝福妳跟小泡芙一切順利！！:)
