Re: i am trying to pick a childbirth class

I did mine thru Winthrop - very informative! I enjoyed the class and instructors who were also L&D nurses there.
We paid $150 (I think) for 4 sessions 2hrs. 1x a week.

I paid nothing and I got to sit and eat ice cream while I watched the 4 1/2 hours of ideo.

Laugh and Learn Childbirth from the library. I am so happy with my choice. I have heard most classes are a waste of time and money.

Re: i am trying to pick a childbirth class

The general childbirth class is $10

and the bradley class is $35

I might cancel the class I signed up for and go to the library and watch the video instead...idk

Found it very informative...

Re: i am trying to pick a childbirth class

I am taking classes through NY Presbyterian Cornell. It is $300 for 5 2 hour classes and One breastfeeding class and one baby care class. You also have access to the instructor to call for questions once the baby is here. I have only taken one class, but was told to bring sweats for the next two classes because we will be stretching and doing exercise.
