Valley Medical Birth Classes - good or bad?

lbowyer

It's time for us to sign up for birth classes, but I want to get the most out of them. Has anyone attended any of the birth and labor classes at Valley Medical in Renton? How did you like them?

The only class we'll be able to sign up for is the 2-day weekend class. I'm worried there will be too much peripheral information crammed in there and I won't take away a whole lot of labor and birth information. The information says they will cover things like basic baby care, post partum care, basic baby comforting techniques, etc. I feel like these are things I could read in a book or take a separate class for. I want to learn about labor and birth, not just gloss over it in a weekend course. My other option is a private lamaze instructor. Any opinions, ladies?
