    I'm delivering at UH Case/MacDonald, but am taking Bradley classes which they don't offer there so we are taking them at St. John's Medical Ctr. in Westlake.  It costs $150, but since it is 12 weeks is more expensive than the other classes at both UH and St. John's.

    UH lists their classes here: https://www.uhhospitals.org/tabid/2161/Default.aspx

    I've found that both hospitals offer a few free classes (like 'Going Green' at UH), but no free childbirth classes.

    Good luck!

    The only one I know that used to offer free* childbirth & related classes is at Wadsworth-Rittman hospital, in the greater Medina area.

     *they are now owned by a different hospital system so I don't know if they are continuing free classes.

    The Wadsworth Rittman hospitals do still offer free birthing classes but they ask that you don't sign up until your final month. They say they want everything to be fresh in your mind. I am going to see if they will let me attend at 71/2 months tho- just because I am worried that our baby will arrive sooner than expected---(it has a tendancy to happen in both our families)
