You can find out which by asking them.

You also need to find out what their philosophy is regarding interventions. If they are teaching Bradley, the focus will be natural childbirth. Lamaze is still available but the term has been adopted by the hospitals and is used as the generic term for birth classes. Birthing From Within is a relative newcomer to the birth community. It is a multi-sensory holistic approach. Eclectic teachers use a variety of techniques borrowed from a variety of teaching methods. For more information on these styles go to the internet.
