Online Childbirth Classes



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....

FREE birth plan



I love the idea of making a birth plan. First of all, it makes you decide on some of the tough questions before you are in the situation. We all know that birth is as individual as the person, so the plan may not go exactly as you want it to, but this is a GREAT place to start! This is the BEST birth plan I've found and best of all, it's FREE!
