I just taught a Class 3 in my Hypnobabies class this week. This is the class where we go over Birth Choices. After class a Dad commented, “I thought it was just epidural or no epidural, boy was I wrong!”
Here is a blog post by a nurse who taught hospital childbirth classes, which demonstrates that they are often just to tell you how to be good patients. She also shares an interesting observation regarding cesareans.
I *love* blogs like this. You should see my bookmarks on my computer. 😉 chock full.
You’re right. The birth classes at my hospital aren’t really “how to give birth” classes, they’re “here’s all the things we’re going to do to you” classes. Bleh.
