38 | Do You Really Need a Childbirth Class? How to Choose the Right One for You

January 19, 2026 • Stephanie Sinclair

Childbirth education is one of the most common topics we get asked about—and also one of the most confusing.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what childbirth education actually is, why so many classes sound the same, and how to choose a course that truly supports your birth—not someone else’s version of it.

We talk through the different types of classes (hospital-based, virtual, on-demand, method-based), what a solid childbirth education course should include, and the green flags and red flags to watch for as you’re deciding.

This conversation isn’t about checking a box or chasing a “perfect” birth. It’s about building a foundation—so you feel informed, steady, and supported no matter how your birth unfolds.

If you’ve been wondering:

Do I really need a childbirth class?
How do I know which one is right for me?
What actually matters when preparing for birth?

You’re in the right place. You don’t need all the information.
You just need the right information—for you.
