Bumping

Just at the stage where I need to confirm with the hospital to attend the classes.

I have been looking into the options available, but noticed that the private doulas, midwives, and birth educators tend to be very $$. Making it not very accessible for some who would like to know their choices, and have a great birth but become slightly disadvantaged by not being able to afford a private birth educator.
I have read a lot if birth stories on here, watch OBEM, and generally trust my body. But as its my first baby and birth, I just feel I'm not so sure about the hospital classes.
I have a relative who is a recent graduate midwife, we'd be happy if she could just run through it with us but she has expressed she's not yet 100% confident in 'teaching' us.

So I guess I'm asking, better to go with hospital classes at $110, or try to find a private educator under $150??
