Is childbirth class only for people planning a natural birth?
Childbirth class is for everyone. Birth is essentially unknowable and we need to know our options regardless of our original plan. The woman planning a natural birth may need medical intervention and the woman expecting to have an epidural may find her labor moving in a way that precludes medication. Having adequate information allows us to remain flexible and make informed choices in all situations.
