Did you take classes, prior to giving birth?

Question

Or did you just go with the flow of things?
I'm in a country where no one really speaks English. I am 33 weeks pregnant, and haven't been to a class. 
Can anyone recommend any videos online, if that's what helped you?
What helped you through birth?

Answer

I’ve had three kids and never took a class I read a what to expect book that’s it.. just knowing what would happen and my options was all I needed

Answer

All we took was a breastfeeding class but no with my boy we didn't do a birthing class. The only suggestion I have for you is you are the patient and you have the right to ask questions and say yes and no. Don't let nurses or doctors push you around into doing what they want. If you have a vision for your birth advocate for yourself. It never goes the way we plan but it's okay to ask questions. Also the actual birthing part your body just knows what to do. They will help you into position and give you pointers.

Answer

I listened to some hypnobirthing audiobooks and they helped with settling the nerves.  I would recommend a birthing or labour class if they are available to you (virtual or in person).  I found the general prenatal classes were not really helpful and were a waste of time but maybe that was just my health region.  
I’m currently listening to mindful birthing and finding it really good.  I think it would be a good listen and gives good practices to compliment any birth plan.

Answer

Nope. Honestly never had time and just really didn’t want to add another thing to do. I’ve considered it once but between working, the kids I already have and getting sleep decided against it.
I was going to try it with my 3rd pregnancy.

Answer

i didn’t do classes but while in labor i put ear phones in and listened to music, it helped a ton
