I asked two HBTC Couples to share their experiences taking Hypnobabies class a second time for their second baby. To read more about why we recommend everyone repeat the class with subsequent pregnancies, read this article.
Update: May 2017: The live class materials received a major update in June of 2015. Anyone who took the class before then will notice quite a few wonderful changes if they take the class again now!

Mary and Willi, you guys took Hypnobabies in the spring of 2012 when you were preparing for the birth of your first baby. (Read Mary's first story here.) Why did you decide to take class again when you found out you were expecting #2 in early 2014?
I (Mary) know that I do better at sticking to a routine and doing my homework when I have a class to check in with, so felt that taking the course again would be a good way to keep myself accountable to doing the work that Hypnobabies requires to be successful. I also really enjoyed connecting with other parents-to-be the first time around and felt it would be nice to have that a second time as well. And, honestly, it was nice for my husband and I to have a little time away from our daughter each week for 6 weeks.
