Childbirth Classes

Not all childbirth education classes are created equal.  Prepared childbirth offered by a hospital, birth center, or physician's group is typically a class teaching physiological changes during pregnancy and labor as well as information to prepare the couple for delivery in that particular setting.  It does not necessarily mean instruction in birth options.

There are three different types of childbirth educators that I am aware of:  the independent educator; the educator employed by a hospital or birth center; and the educator employed by a physician or group of physicians.
