When is the best time to take a childbirth preparation class?
The ideal time to attend a childbirth class is unique to each individual. However, the time when you are probably going to get the most out of a class is when you are highly motivated. Motivation seems to increase as you become closer to your due date and the upcoming birth begins to feel like it is really going to happen. I recommend starting a class series when you are nearing the end of your second trimester or anytime in the last trimester. It is also helpful to allow for a little time after the series is completed to integrate the information.
