What are the key advantages to signing up for childbirth classes?

Make sure the classes you sign up for covers as many of the following topics as possible:

• The physiology of pregnancy (how your body changes and why, and how you can cope with some of the common discomforts of pregnancy

• The basic elements of prenatal care (your doctors role in caring for you and your baby as well as the tests technology during pregnancy and labor)

• The psychological and emotional experience of giving birth

• What is involved in delivering vaginally and through a C-section

• Relaxation and or breathing techniques

• Laboring positions that can reduce pain or help your labor to progress

• The role of pain relief during labor

• Tips on getting breastfeeding off to a good start

• Advice on caring for your newborn

• Advice on choosing a pediatrician

• The lowdown on what postpartum period is really like

• Breastfeeding techniques

• Films and videos on actual vaginal and C-section births so that you are better prepared on what is to come

• The chance to tour the hospital or birth center at which you will be delivering

• The opportunity to ask questions or express concerns you may have

Childbirth classes should provide as much information and as little propaganda as possible. The bottom-line to a woman in labor are the vitals such as an understanding of relaxation techniques, the support of a caring partner and an overall feeling of confidence in her ability to give birth.
