Hi
I am getting certifed as a childbirth educator - so I have to "sit-in" on a class and observe. I took a class 9 years ago and 2 years ago for my other births, but this is as a student. Anyone know any? Thanks,
-H.

What can I do next?

I"m not sure where you live but Birthmark in media offers childbirth classes and so does The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr. The website for Birthmark is Familybirthmark.com. Good luck.

I would think anyhospital w/a maternity ward. The hospitals where I delivered my kids, as well as our local hospital, all have the courses. We took a private course from a woman who came to our home, recommended by friends who did the same, but I don't remember her name.

Hi H.!

You don't specify what type of Childbirth Education you are looking to teach. Do you want to do the general Lamaze-type they usually teach at hospitals? If not, there is also the Bradley method which I learned before having my first baby and really found helpful. You can Google it on-line I'm sure for information. I know they still e-mail me about instructor training, so it's out there. Best of Luck!

H. - sounds exciting! Check out the Maternal Wellness Center in Mt. Airy. Great place - I took a class there when I was pregnant and really enjoyed it. The center offers all kinds of great support and services for moms and moms-to-be. www.maternalwellness.org

Good Luck!
