As expectant mothers are being increasingly drawn to learn more about the wide variety of birthing options and labor techniques, more and more out-of-hospital childbirth classes are being offered. With so many different types of childbirth courses available in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, this can leave you feeling overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the one that is right for you and your baby.

When Nick and I found out we were pregnant, we knew nothing about pregnancy or birth. It was an overwhelming, exciting, but very scary moment. I immediately had so many questions, but we would have to wait almost a month before we would see our doctor for an ultrasound. Nick’s favorite that I asked was “Can I still take a hot shower?” In my defense, I like super hot showers, so it only made sense to make sure! But from the beginning of the journey into pregnancy and birth, everything you know changes, even yourself.
