YES you should take a childbirth class. This post isn't about the benefits of taking a childbirth class, it's a reminder that you should be thinking about what kind of birth you want to have. Learning about what you want and discovering the choices you have is a decision that must be made early. That decision is the basis for your choices of birthing classes.
There are many choices in birth. Everything from asking for an epidural from the moment you walk into the hospital or making the decision to have an un-assisted childbirth. Of course, choosing a natural childbirth is where classes are more important. Knowing what to expect about the birthing process and being prepared for listening to your body's cues, these are few of the topics you will learn about in a natural childbirth class.
Not sure? There are so many resouces online discussing all of your options. Search your internet for information, and most importantly, search your soul for the choices you will make, knowing you are preparing for the most important job you will ever have....
