- by Banyan_TreesI am expecting twins in the first week of April. I would like to know if you have any recommendations on child birth classes and where i could take them based on your experiences.

- by zephaniah31617I was talking to a friend and she is in search of an inexpensive birthing class (Lamaze?) that is offered within this month and that is more focused on coping with pain techniques than hospital information.

- by alapointe2Can anyone recommend a good video on pain management classes to watch at home? With our work schedules and already having a daughter at home going to classes just is not an option for us.
