[quote=Anonymous]DH and I took infant and child CPR at GWUH (through Momease) - well worth it, we learned a lot.  It was also the least expensive class I found (not that I was looking for a cheaper one, I just needed something that fit our hectic schedule and that turned out to be a bonus).  Ours was taught by an American Heart Association certified woman who is also an EMT and emergency care educator.

We took a Bradley class and loved it.  The type of class you take will really depend on what kind of birth you want.  I'm trying for a natural birth with midwives, so the Bradley class was a good option for us.  It's definitely a time committment, but it was well worth it to us.

I've taken two classes at the Breastfeeding Center - breastfeeding basics and breastpump basics.  Both were informative and I don't regret taking them, but it's really difficult that they're over an hour long in the middle of the workday.  I work two stops away on the orange line, and had to use up 2.5 hours of my workday for each class.  And the room they do the classes in is TINY and they pack it full, so it's not the most comfortable.  That said, they are very useful for a free class.  I will probably go back to them to buy a pump and some supplies, just to give them my support for offering the free classes.[/quote]
