Did you go classes offered by the hospital or did you opt for classes given by Lamaze International DC chapter? They both seem to offer very similar class info. So besides the slight difference in cost is there really any other difference and how did you choose?
Re: INOVA Childbirth Ed Class vs. Lamaze ? DC
I did the INOVA 4 week classes. Our instructor was Lamaze certified and basically that was what we learned. I hadn't considered other Lamaze classes, but the other natural classes I wanted to try required you to begin attending early in your second trimester, and I didn't start investigating them until then.
I will say that it was nice to have our instructor know the hospital protocol.
