What happens there? What do you do? ?

Question

Well my cousin previously got pregnant, so her boyfriend asked her if she wanted to go to Birthing Classes....

So she said I don't know, because she doesn't know what you do there. Yes it was an unplanned/teenage preganacy but thats not what this is about lol, she wants to know like what you do at the birthing classes.

Answer 1

It really depends on the type of birthing method they teach...there really are a lot of them!  The basic kind that most hospitals offer just go over the labor and delivery process, your options for medication or not, what happens if there are complications, etc.  Usually you'll get a tour of the birthing center too, which is really nice to know what to expect.  

Some classes even give you tips on caring for a newborn which is great!

I was a young mom the first time around and it really helped me feel more comfortable with it all....

Check your local hospitals class description on their website.

Answer 2

practise breathing and such. what's going to happen, what to do in emergency.
