| Need suggestions for a birthing class and infant CPR class. Live in Maryland but can go anywhere in the DC area. Preferably not too expensive and not a multi week thing, would love to do a one day thing! Looked at Stork: Childbirth Education any opinions on their classes? Thanks in advance! |

Me too. It's not one-day, but she does have shorter classes in a "weekend intensive" format. And she's fabulous. |

| You don't need birthing classes when there's YouTube. Watch videos and the nurses will tell you what to do anyway. |

| What kind of labor and delivery are you hoping for? Unmedicated? Low intervention? Epidural in the hospital parking lot? |

| We did a class through Stork. We had them come to our house to teach the class and the grandparents participated too. I thought it was good, not great. DH and I knew nothing about babies so we learned a lot. |

| Took a baby CPR class at Sibley and at the end, the nurses said that they did in-home classes too. I would have paid 3x the money of the group class for DH and I to have someone come to our house!!! The group class took FOREVER to teach what probably takes 20 min max to teach one on one. |

| Birthing classes were a waste of time and money for me. Baby was breech and I had to have a c section. I would definitely hold it until you were sure that the baby would not turn. |

| Birthing Basics, LLC! Awesome! Check out their Yelp reviews! One day class with tons of current information. |

+1. I wish I'd waited to take the class because I ended up not needing any of the information. |

Lol. Someone from Birthing Basics revived a 5 month old thread to promote themselves. |
