Birth Survey 2012
Review Date: April 2012 REVIEW: I knew from the start that I wanted an epidural, but it wasn't until near the end of this two-day class that it was mentioned that almost all of the things about this class addressed issues with natural, non-medicated birth. I was frustrated that about half the class didn't really pertain to our situation. I had also expected, based on other childbirth classes friends had taken from other providers, that there would be some basic childcare things like diapering, holds, etc., to get us through those first few hours. There were not. There should be something in the literature clearly stating that these classes focus half the time on tools for people who are not planning to use medication.Birth Survey 2012
Review Date: April 2012 REVIEW: The instructor was nice and the information was helpful, but overall I think the only reason to take the class is just to have some "couple" time and to meet other new expecting parents INSURANCE ISSUES:Birth Survey 2012
