    We took a class called Balance Born Childbirth at Touro.  It was eight weeks long, two hours each Wednesday evening.  This class centered around natural unmedicated childbirth.  I really liked it.  We ended up choosing this class because I had wanted to take a Bradley Method class, but the only one I could find in our area didn't work with our schedules.  Anyway, it was a good class if your goal is an unmedicated birth - that was my goal, and I feel like with the help of the class I achieved it and had a great labor and delivery.
     
    You don't have to be delivering at Touro to take the class.  They have a list of classes here:  https://www.touro.com/content/fbc/default.htm  I think they have a weekend retreat along the same lines of the eight week class if you can't make such a long commitment.
     
    My boss, who delivered her daughter one week after I did, took Lamaze at EJGH and said she liked it.  She also delivered naturally/unmedicated.

    I took classes at EJ (where I delivered).  I thought they were great.

    I second this class. The 8 week one didn't work for us, but she also offers a weekend course as well that's similar. :)
