It is recommended that the Childbirth and Parenting class be taken during the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy in order for you to have time to practice the breathing and relaxation exercises.
This will also give you time to discuss concerns and plans for your labor and delivery with your doctor well before your baby is due to be born.
