The hospital classes are good for scoping out their policies, but i don't know if this is worth $110. If i had to pay for a hospital class, i would want info on what they were going to cover. I went to a hospital class, and i would have felt ripped off if i paid that much.
The benefit of private educators is that they often offer post class assistance and you have more opportunity to ask questions.
Has your relative worked at the hospital that you are booked into? Do you know anyone else who has birthed there? Does the hospital have info on their website?
Good luck with your decision. It can be hard to work out where to focus on, when money is an issue. It is great to have faith in your body, i believe you also have to have a great researched birth plan for all circumstances, and faith in your support people to help you tell the health care professionals what works for you and your baby.
I also love Ina May Gaskin books, also Henci Goer.
