What to look for before you book

Class size matters: smaller groups mean more hands-on time with the instructor. Check who's actually teaching, whether it's a certified childbirth educator, a midwife, or a lactation consultant, since credentials affect how practical and accurate the advice is. Ask what's included in the fee (handouts, refresher sessions, partner attendance) and whether the syllabus matches your due date and birth plan (natural birth, hospital birth, or planned caesarean each need different prep). It also helps to ask about class format: one intensive weekend versus weekly sessions spread over a month suits different schedules and learning styles.
