  We took it and loved it. Learned a lot and helped me to feel prepared to make a decision. We did some if the hypno birthing relaxation sessions during the class and hated them. Definitely not for me.

  Um, I don't know. We just took the regular birthing class at our hospital before our first baby, so it wasn't Lamaze. While our class was not really very useful in a practical sense (didn't do squat with pain relief), I am glad we took it. I think it was something DH could do with me to help it feel more real that we were having a baby/help him be more involved. It was also nice to tour the hospital areas related to pregnancy and baby care.

  We took a birthing class through our hospital & it did help. Unfortunately I was put on strict bed rest half way through the class, so we didn't get to finish it, but the techniques we learned helped me during labor and DH said he was glad we went as well.

  I think birthing classes are great, but I have read a lot and don't believe Lamaze is a good method. I'm actually pretty surprised it's still being taught - it feels so 80s to me. It teaches you to hyperventilate which will increase your stress response. Look into the Bradley Method instead.

  
  

  Classes are a great way to meet other expectant parents and feel more prepared for the birth. We have read a ton of books and know a lot about what to expect, but still enjoy classes. We are doing private Bradley instructions and taking classes given by our midwife. We also went to a cloth diapering class and I am going to connect with the local la leche league before the due date.
