For many years the desire to have an epidural meant that you wouldn't need a childbirth class. Or if you did choose to take one, you'd take the quickie version offered at your hospital that basically gave you hospital policy and how to request anesthesia, with not much else offered. However, the thinking is changing about the use of the epidural and the need for childbirth classes.
Childbirth Miami classes offer so much information about various ways to cope with pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and other relevant issues. It is simply not about who wants drugs and who doesn't. The information taught in our childbirth classes are important to everyone, no matter what their desires for the use of medication in labor.
Studies have shown that taking childbirth classes can reduce the amount of stress in labor, which is the goal of all childbirth classes and the use of medication. By using other techniques to help you through labor you can have a more relaxing experience until the point at which you decide medication is the right option for you. Or you can simply choose to not use medications, as some women find labor to be much easier than they had anticipated.
