I would if I wasn't confident in my ability to perform CPR. I have been certified 4 times and I used to be certified as a lifeguard. I think feeling confident to perform CPR if needed is so important.
We had to take a cpr class during our adoption process. I’m so glad we did!
Both my husband and I are certified.
Before and after. I got my training because its mandatory in my work!
I want to
I am a nurse so I'm already certified. But I think it's so important for all parents to learn !
I'm getting certified next week!
I took a course after. I'm certified
I got certified in high school before I started having kids. I got certified twice after that just to make sure nothing changed. The certification should last longer in my opinion.
I took the course before giving birth 🤓
I was certified before and get recertified every year. I think this is more important than any prenatal class. In fact everyone should know it parent or not
Because of my job we have to be CPR and AED certified and I just told my mom I was going to sign her up too. I think everyone should know CPR, especially if your a parent or your around children !
I'm CPR certified due to my work history, but because of it, I'm very weary of letting someone babysit my son who isn't.
This is great! I'm already provider certified.

My husband and I took a CPR course, together, at the hospital I eventually gave birth at. So convenient!
I been thinking about updating my certificate I do have baby from having preemies
I would love to get certified. I was years ago in high school, but obviously times have changed.
I did while my son was in the NICU
I was already certified for my job but I recommend getting certified while pregnant.
I had to with my 1st child before I could bring her home because she was premature.
I had to for my job. But, I’ve heard that you can get certified online now.
I am CPR certified through my job but at the hospital they gave me a baby dummy to practice on.
I did mine 2 weeks ago - I wish I had done it while pregnant because I feel so much more capable as a parent knowing what to do in an emergency.
I had a doula for my 1st and 2nd pregnancies. She was a registered nurse so she came to our home for our 1st time at the rodeo and did a CPR training for us both. It was so helpful to have that additional info in case of emergency. New moms are usually nervous (I was) so being trained was a plus plus!
I was already certified (I used to be a CNA/CMA) and I plan to update it soon. I've already had to use infant CPR on my daughter who became overconfident with a banana when she was 10 months old. It failed, and after a couple of attempts, I ended up having to put my finger down her throat and forced it out. I was thankful for the training as it helped me stay calm. Even though it didn't work, I still immediately knew what to do when she choked and acted. I highly recommend EVERYONE, pregnant or whatever get CPR certified! You never know if you'll need it!!
I have because my baby was in the NICU. Made me realize how much more important that was because of them.
I took a class at the hospital I was delivering at before I had my baby. It’s super helpful to know in general.
In Nz it is mandatory after you have a baby no matter how many you have
I was already certified way before I had my son. My husband also has his because of his profession.

I’m not certified and the only training I have ever gotten was for CPR on adults, but I plan on getting certified. I’ve read and watched videos on it. But that’s completely different than actually getting trained and practicing on a dummy.
The hospital where I will be delivering offers an infant CPR class. I’ll be taking it October 20th! 😊
I teach cpr I have been doing cpr since I was 15 years old... it is such a great thing to have when you have little ones.

both my self and my husband CPR certified
Former NICU nurse 🙋🏻♀️ ✅
Yes! Nice for peace of mind!
Yes. Luckily my job offered CPR/First Aid Certification
I’m certified through my job and protected by the Good Samaritan law (I believe that’s what it’s called) if I use it outside of work
Yes! It gives a lot of peace of mind to know you are prepared if the situation arises.
No, but I would like to be. They did give us a crash course when our son was in the NICU.
No but I do want to!
I am about to. I'm also getting first aid certified.
Already have it
Not yet but i want to. How to get it?

Yes ! Took the class when I was pregnant , and my job at the time , offered the cert after I had her !
I was a nurse before becoming a mom, so I've always had my CPR card. It's good to have it because if you do ever need it, in that moment you'll be more ready than panicked having someone from 911 explain it to you over the phone.
Yes the nicu resertified both me and my husband
Afterward
I would love too! I am actually researching somewhere where I can get certified.
Same!
