hypnobirthing v hypnobabies

rooftop

I have looked into both and would prefer using hypnobabies but there isn't a class taught nearby for more than 100 miles so if I go that way I will have to do the at home course. There is a hypnobirthing class available in town, however it's not exactly what I want and is more expensive. I was thinking of just taking a generic child birth class and ordering the at home study but don't know if it'd be enough instruction. Suggestions or advice?
