At what week should we start looking at classes and/or start them? Thanks for the input. Mark EDD 11/03 Childbirth classes are probably the most common; you'd take them together. If you are planning on a hospital birth, the hospital most likely offers them. You can also find out about local classes through your OB/midwife, organizations such as Bradley, and local doulas (some of whom may offer private, personalized childbirth education, even if you are not using their services). Whose class (if any) you need or want to take will really depend on what kind of information and instruction you are looking for. This can be very important because each method will tend to have its own agenda, and some can be pretty, erm, adamant about their way being the only way. Make sure you're taking something that matches or covers the kind of birth you want (natural? medicated? what kind of pain management techniques are you most interested in? how involved will the husband be in a coaching role? are you planning to breastfeed? etc.) I think there are probably a lot of people who take breastfeeding and parenting courses as well. Childbirth classes can run quite a few weeks (though many offer longer classes on weekends to crash the timeline), and most places will recommend you take them in the 2nd trimester. We didn't take instructor-led childbirth classes, but I moved back our childbirth education into the 3rd trimester simply because I knew that if we did something earlier, my husband would never remember it all when it counted :-).
