We attended one of Victoria's Birthready classes which was run over a weekend in East Melbourne. It was very intensive - we learnt so much in such a short amount of time! Definitely very worthwhile - all of the material presented was supplementary to that provided by the hospital classes that we did (i.e. there was very little double up), and the information is presented in a way that was not forceful of opinions. We learnt a lot about the birthing process and what to expect, some strategies for dealing with events on the big day, and also learnt some early parenting techniques. One thing which I found really valuable in the class was the intervention chart, which really highlighted how one intervention can lead to another and lead to a birth that you might not want. I would highly recommend Victoria's workshops to anyone who is pregnant... it is a little bit of knowledge that every first time parents should be aware of. A course like this also helps ensure that if you aren't both on the same page already (in terms of the birthing education), that you will be after the course. Very worthwhile.
