Birth Instructors
Facility based classes are usually taught by a nurse that works there and is not allowed to give unbiased information. Keep in mind that with this option they will be teaching the "this is how we do birth here" method. There are also some independent childbirth teachers who have complete autonomy.
You also need to find out what their philosophy is regarding interventions. Informed Beginnings classes are offered in the Chicago area. 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. If you can, it's a good idea to interview the teacher by phone before signing up for the class. Many people take online classes too. If you can't find a practitioner near you please contact us.
