A member asked:

Are childbirth classes worth taking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes in many cases: It is usually worthwhile to orient yourself to what will happen during your birth experience and have some coping mechanisms or plans on how to handle labor. This can ease anxiety and tension when it is time to deliver.
