There. I said it. I honestly feel like the childbirth classes at the hospital are USELESS. I read more and was more educated I feel than the instructors and certainly more than the other moms and dad who were there. These people are clueless. The instructors STINK. Of course I am biased because I am an instructor and I have expectations that most instructors will be very good. I specialize in teaching effectiveness at the university level so understandbly I am hard to please. But really people?? I'm getting charged $90 for 4 weeks of drivel that I had previously learned in 8th grade??? So disappointed. Doubly so, the crap they are teaching of course is laced with hype by the instructors to go all medical intervention all the way... they keep talking about how you'll need the epidural and how pitocin will be needed and how difficult it is to have baby latch on right after birth... and etc. etc. etc.. They put time limits on labour and delivery and you can pretty much guaruntee that you won't be in a squatting birth position for the delivery because you'll be 'too tired' ... why? Because the uninformed instructor was too tired herself 35 years ago? That means I will be? PUH LEASE.
Fed up with the hospital system. Fed up with being broke and not being able to afford a home birth. Fed up with the goverment for not making home births more affordable or covered by insurance companies. Kiss my ass world.
I just want a nice quiet uneventful home birth at a reasonable cost... ie: $100 copay please!!! lol.. that's not happening any time soon!
