Why do we need childbirth classes?
In short, this is the perfect time to get to know what you don’t know. Whether this is your first baby, and this is all brand new, or this is your third baby, and you are left with questions about your previous experiences, it will benefit you and your birth partner to take classes and learn about what YOU want in your birth experience. Labor and birth are not a pathology, and it’s important to understand physiological birth so that you can make informed decisions about your birth and your care. You deserve a class that will share your excitement for your experience—however you want to give birth—and teach you about all of your options, not just those that make you a compliant patient.
