Excerpt

Choosing a Childbirth Class

Most childbirth classes cover basic information about birth and birth-related procedures. However, they vary in their philosophies, teaching methods, and formats. Some classes also cover breastfeeding and parenting a newborn. Classes offered by a hospital, birth center, or caregiver will provide information according to the policies and procedures of that facility or practice. Independent educators or childbirth education groups may promote a specific philosophy.

Class sizes and schedules also vary. When the class has no more than ten couples, it's easier to get to know on another and ask questions. A series taught over several weeks gives you time to practice the skills and develop relationships. A weekend class concentrates information into a short period, which may benefit couples who have scheduling conflicts. Private education can tailor a class to your specific needs.

To choose the childbirth class that's right for you, ask the following questions:
-- What is the instructor's or organization's philosphy of childbirth?
-- What topics does the class cover?
-- How are the classes organized?
-- How many participants are likely to be in the class?
-- What's the cost?
