Help! What birthing class should I take?

Question

I'm planning for a natural birth and trying to decide what birthing class would be the most beneficial. I have a strong tolerance for pain but feel I will struggle with remaining calm and relaxing my body. I'm leaning towards hypnobirthing.

What is your opinion between Hypnobirthing, Lamaze, and Bradley method?

Answer

I did Birthing As Nature Intended, which is similar to hypo. I was pretty lazy and didn't really practice much until the last couple of weeks. But half my labor was totally painless and I didn't even know I was in labor for a while. I was grocery shopping less than 12 hours before my son was born. I was able to go all natural and was at a 9 when I checked into the hospital. I also had a doula. I highly recommend having one if you're able.

Answer

I've only taken Bradley, and liked it (6 wks till I put it to the test though). But, I think you will be happy with either Bradley or Hypno. I don't hear about many people taking Lamaze anymore.
