LuckyDaemon posted:A couple of hospitals here offer $70 childbirth classes but my CNM doesn't think they're very useful for teaching practical information about how to get through labor--just education about "This is what happens when baby comes, these are some of the tools we use". I've gotten all of that information from my own research. Bradley classes would be awesome, but we can't afford them. We watched a dvd called Laugh and Learn about Childbirth. I think it was around $40 on Amazon. It didn't tell me anything I didn't know, but it told my husband A LOT. I would've taken a class at my hospital but they didn't offer them. I love The Birthing Partner and I'm going to force my husband to read it next time. I'll also be doing Hypnobabies next time. I used hypnosis during my first labor, I just didn't know I was doing it. I had barely started listening to the Hypnobabies tracks when we ended our last pregnancy and even that little bit was helpful. I got the cds from a friend, so I'll have to decide if I want to spend $150 just to get the workbook.

Biting your kid's nails (like licking their spoons/pacifiers) may not be a good idea because it can transfer bacteria that cause cavities from your mouth to their mouth.

peanut posted:Home births are also growing in popularity in the US because so many people are uninsured or underinsured. Is this really true? I know a home birth is a lot cheaper than a hospital birth but I've never heard of this being the reason for a home birth.
