I've not even been offered classes by the hospital!!! Maybe because its my second child and they presume I don't want them?
With my first child I just did the free classes run by the hospital. They seemed good at the time but only focused on a vaginal birth with minimal complications. I ended up being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia (on the day I was being induced!) which meant being strapped to the bed with the drip and catheter. That meant all the pain management stuff I'd planned on using went out the window because I couldn't move. The induction failed, then I had an emergency c, failed to breast feed or bond with lil one and had severe PND. NONE of this was I even remotely prepared for.
I think I might start looking into some private classes for this one......
