In my case It was an accelerated course so it was in two weekends. I did this about two months before my due date, but too be honest I wish I could have saved the money since I didn't even use the breathing techniques and I couldn't take the pain and had a epi. But that's just me.

Re: lamaze

Can I rec'd that you look into other birthing methods such as hypnobirthing or Bradley method? I have never one heard a women saw those classes were a waste of time or money.
I think it is VERY important that you understand what is happening in your body and baby at each stage of labor. You can learn how to handle the labor with much better ways than Lamaze has to offer. Lamaze breathing is actually very counterproductive to pain control.
