After attending a variety of childbirth classes & seminars, we were relieved to find one that met our needs. The small class size allows everyone to ask vital (and sometimes sensitive/personal) questions, and to share hopes and fears with others who are right there with ya. I also appreciated that we received objective information from people with hospital background & childbirth experience, without the hospital bias. We had an experience elsewhere feeling stuck in a class with less direction...one that wasn't conducive to addressing the nitty-gritty childbirth stuff. The Tulip Grove staff knows about these experiences, and they've found the solution. We took the weekend intensive class. Initially I thought it might be too much information at once, but I actually really liked the pace, and Jen is fantastic!
