Why do I need to take a childbirth class?

Once upon a time, women grew up with childbirth. Birth took place at home and was a normal part of life. Women were supported by other women during birth, and girls always knew what labor looked like, sounded like, and exactly how it's done. When birth moved into the hospitals about 60 years ago, we gained some good things,but we lost some good things too.

Attending a childbirth class gives you an opportunity not just to learn about what to expect and how it will happen, but also about your options. There are many options in childbirth, and we're not just talking about choices of medication. When the questions come up, are you ready to make an informed decision?

Being in a class also gives you an opportunity to meet other pregnant couples, and to benefit from others' questions and experiences. Childbirth classes exist to make the process of birth easier for you and your partner. Why wouldn't you want that?
