Registering for childbirth classes?

Hi Everyone,

Figuring out which childbirth preparation classes to take can be a real challenge.
Here are some tips to help you decide!

1.   A six week series is almost always better than a weekend series. A childbirth teacher can cover much more material in six weeks and you will feel like you got more out of the class.  You can also develop lasting friendships with other expectant couples when you spend more time with them.
2.  Take a childbirth class that is NOT in a hospital setting. Outside of hospital classes focus more on birth as a natural process while hospital classes tend to focus on hospital policies and procedures.
3. Make a short list of what your hope to gain from taking a childbirth class and find a class that meets those desires.
