We booked our Birthing class here and truly regret it. If you've read a book or have the internet then you already know MORE than this class will teach you. They are looong and boring and cheaply done. If you really need to know something abou your birth, you don't want to ask this wacko lady- you should ask your Doctor. Our "instructor" was not a nurse or an educator and charged us an additional $25 for the class "Text Book" which was a disorganized pile of artcles she found on the web! I can't believe we didn't walk out. Don't feel obligated like we did. Skip this one and trust yourself. You'll feel better and so will your wallet.
