Why is it that when you post a query about something to LJ you get all sorts of information not relevant to your question?
Other question, is related to birthing classes/birth preparation so it's back behind but I'd appreciate feedback from those of you who have given birth, who have attended births, who have been birth partners/labor support, and those of you with significant knowledge about the subject.
We're at a point where we're trying to discuss and decide on labor stuff-I want to get settled with whatever labor classes we're going to take soon, since I'm 17 weeks now. We'll take the hospital class, which is more about birthing at that hospital, and is separate from their Lamaze offering. We're going to do that because I'm not going to try and write a birth plan/negotiate a lower intervention birth until I've gotten some idea of what the hospital does and doesn't do, likes and doesn't like, and so on.
But, we're investigating other stuff. My sister in law pushes Bradley pretty hard, and that's fine...it's worked well for her. And I know there are local Bradley teachers. We've also got local "Birthing from Within" teachers and local Hypnobabies teachers. I'm wondering what feedback other people have about these methods-what's worked or hasn't worked for you. Did you hate something about this method or that method? What has worked well in births you attended? And all that stuff. Feedback, please?
