What's the best way to find a class?
Childbirth classes are offered at most hospitals and birthing centers. Some classes are available online or in DVD format.
Ask your health care provider about classes available in your area. A representative from your medical insurance plan might offer suggestions. You might also check with parents who've recently had babies.
