childbirth classes

[Anonymous]

Hi, sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was hoping for childbirth class recommendations. I have friends who have done Lamaze and we were going to go with that also, but I dont really know what other classes in the area are recommended. I know Sibley does classes (where I am giving birth) and of course I know others exist, but I'm not sure what will be right for us. I am undecided about an epidural, so it seems like something like Bradley may not be what we are looking for.

thanks in advance for your suggestions.

ok, I am incredibly sorry to have posted this on TTC support by accident! Ugh, I was only on this forum cause I had trouble TTC myself and was looking for places to weigh in on what worked for us.....Again sorry!

I did a Birthworks class and really liked it because it isn't slated either way (natural/no epi vs. epi vs. c-section, etc). I thought it did a really thorough job of informing us of all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and after (life with newborn, breastfeeding, etc) and helped people in the class who were not sure what type of birth they wanted to prioritize and decide. If you want more info on birthworks, check out http://www.birthworks.org/site/. Good luck and congrats!
