Taking a childbirth class is an important way to prepare for the birth of your baby. A good class will help you to understand the labor and birth process, introduce you to ways of coping with the intensity of labor, and help you feel more confident in your ability to give birth. But not all childbirth classes are the same. There are several organizations that provide training for childbirth educators, each of which has its own philosophy and approach to preparing women and families for birth. There is no one “right” approach for everyone, so it is important that you find out about each philosophy, and choose the one that is the best match for you. Explore the information in this section to better understand and compare the options available to you.
