The benefit of taking a series of classes instead of a one-day crash course is that you will actually learn more and remember more when the time comes to give birth. You will also have the opportunity to come back and ask questions after practicing comfort measures at home and thinking about all the information that was covered in the previous class. Retention is increased when information is received in smaller amounts over time and with review and practice.
HOWEVER I am a big believer in meeting people’s needs and that something is better than nothing so I do offer a 4 hour essentials class called the “Quick and Dirty”.
