Birthing classes

When will you be starting to take your lamaze or birthing classes and which ones will you take? My hospital offers a bunch of different ones and I feel so confused on when and which ones to take.

Re: Birthing classes

  • I start mine tomorrow at 26 weeks. It's a childbirth, newborn care, and breastfeeding basics class. It was pretty expensive but my doctor recommended it so I figured why not. It's 3 hours every Monday for 6 weeks.

  • We're taking a natural birthing class starting in two weeks that lasts for 6 weeks. After then its the CPR and breast feeding one. I asked my midwife and based on my very vague current birth plan, she recommend those three. If I decide to not go the natural way, they offer another class that offers medicine intervention.

  • We did the hospital tour and will be taking a one-day Saturday class in July for expecting parents.  I'm pretty sure its just general info.
