We just did an online class that our hospital offered. It was an "at your own pace" type format that came with a book with all the info as well. We could get a hospital tour as well, but I actually delivered early and never made it to the tour, which was fine! It was perfect for us just because we were really busy to try to fit in a longer class. The information was helpful too and it was so nice to be able to take the class while sitting on the couch in my sweats

I actually didn't take any classes and after giving birth, I didn't regret it. They were really expensive and my doctor gave me all the instructions I needed to push and manage pain before the epidural. I'm glad I saved the money for something else! But just my experience.

We did an 8 hour class on a Saturday to get it over with in one day. I found the hospital tour most useful for me, as it helped me feel more prepared knowing where I'd be delivering. I think the class itself was more beneficial for my husband since he had no idea what to expect. I think it was worthwhile.

We registered for an 8-hour class, ours was only $60. We haven't gone yet so I can't attest to how useful it is (also obviously since I haven't given birth yet). But I'm totally an information hog so this kinda thing is right up my alley. It's at the hospital, so I'm hoping it will give me a better idea of what the experience will be like at this particular hospital.

I'm doing the hypnobabies homestudy course, but if there was a hypnobabies in-person course around here, I would totally go!

We've been taking the childbirth classes offered by the hospital. The classes haven't been really useful to me. I've done a lot of reading/prep work already, and there have been multiple times where the teacher says something that doesn't agree with the research. It feels a lot like we're being sold on procedures, honestly.

We also signed up for some other parenting classes (child safety, child care, and breastfeeding) that I expect will be a little more helpful!
