I am nearly 30 weeks along and really dragged my heels on the whole sign-up-for-classes thing. I finally decided I wanted to look into the Bradley method since my husband feels strongly about me not taking drugs or having an epidural, but I had no idea I needed 12 weeks or $300+.
At this stage in the game, how do I got about investigating a class to take with my husband? I am close to freaking out.

Re: Classes
Most Bradley classes are offered in 12 week series but occassionaly, an instructor offers an 8 week course (you meet for 3 hours each time rather than 2 so you get the same total hours of instruction) so check out all the course offerings in your area.
If you want to go natural, Bradley isn't the only way. The hypno classes are generally 5-6 weeks. Lamaze is generally 6 - even though it's not exclusively natural focused, it does teach relaxation which really is at the heart of any natural approach. I've heard of Brio but don't know much about it - might be worth checking out.
And of course taking any course is probably better than taking none so if you can't find a natural-oriented class in time, the hospital classes should offer you at least some prep and you can do a ton of reading on your own between now & then.
