Okay, we know we need to take birthing classes. Our doctor offers them for couples in their 30th-32nd week. There are many reasons why we would prefer to go this method.
1) It's free.
2) The class times are convienient.
3) It's going to give us some "lamaze-like" techniques
4) It helps us to know that this instructor is "endorsed" by our doctor
A lot of people have been asking me about these classes and if I've signed up for anything. When I mention these classes to people, they always ask me, "Why aren't you taking real Lamaze/Bradley, etc classes?"
I usually just smile and say nothing is definite yet. What I really want to say is, "Why should I pay money for classes that are not convienient in time or location when I can get basically the same thing for free? Provided by my doctor's office."
I keep thinking, women gave birth for years without these classes, so what does it matter where I go to and when?
