A childbirth class led by a certified childbirth instructor is a great way for moms-to-be and their partners to prepare themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally for labor and delivery. Most hospitals offer classes, or you can take a course through a childbirth education association or independent instructor. Most childbirth educators are nurses who have experience working with women in labor or with postpartum women, while others are simply women who enjoyed their birth experience so much they want to help others have the best possible birth.

Hi
I wanted to write and tell you about the Magic of Motherhood method since I loved my teacher so much and I don't see her method on a lot of sites… . I used it for 2 of my pregnancies/births and several friends of mine did too. It's a method based on hypnosis (she's a clinical hypnotherapist and psychologist) and about learning your own body. I love it because it also includes the baby. It incorporates the methods of Dr's Leboyer and Chamberlain for the baby and Dr. Grantly Dick-Read for the mother. She says it is a blend of psychology and physiology.
Here is the founder's site www.magicofmotherhood.com
she has an online class for it too at http://class.universalclass.com/CBEP1
It is natural/ relaxation stuff, but she's got a background in psychology, science, research and is really grounded.
