Childbirth Education?

Starting to look for childbirth ed classes.  Can anyone recommend one from personal or second-hand experience?

  • You're probably better off posting this on your local board.

    We're probably just going to do classes at the hospital. Check the hospital you're delivering at if they offer classes.

  • I asked my OB for a list, or you can do what cvl said and check with your hospital.  The list my OB gave me are actually for classes at the hospital where I will be delivering.

  • We are also taking classes through our hospital (bringing baby home, lamaze, baby cpr, breastfeeding). My sister took these for her first child, and she recommends taking all of them. So check your hospital and see what classes they offer.

    Then I am hoping to go all natural, so I am taking the Bradley classes in my local area that I found through bradleybirth.com

  • I LOVE my Bradley class. I've also heard really great things about Brio birth, but those are both natural childbirth classes. If you're not into that I'd say go with the ones at your hospital.

  • All of my classes are offered either through the hospital or the Air Force Base.  I'm taking quite a few since they're free for me.  There aren't any Hypnobirthing or Bradley classes offered anywhere around so I am forced to take Lamaze based child birth classes.

  • Thanks, we will try at the hospital--- but the problem is that we live abroad and I don't speak the language yet (although my husband does).  So, I was hoping to find a good online course.  Other than online, there not very many other options, I think. That's why I'm looking for suggestions of ed types so I can narrow my search.

    We start Brio classes this month. The instructor was with Bradley for several years and this will be her first Brio session.

    The hospitals around here offer tons of classes, but Brio really appealed to us. We will probably take an infant/child CPR class with MIL since she will be watching the baby after I go back to work.

  • I'm a Brio Educator and an Educator Trainer.  I'd be more than willing to Skype you into my classes, or find another instructor who could do the same (time difference being an issue--we'd need to have a class that worked out for your time requirements!) if that was something you are interested in doing.  E-mail me at jenn@briobirth.com

    Happy Gestating!
