Buying separately vs the pass
The pass page states it plainly: the five classes come to $405 bought one at a time, and the pass is $149 for all five. Whether the pass is the better buy depends on how many of those five you actually want. If you only want the Breastfeeding class, buying it on its own is cheaper, and the finder says so. With two classes it depends which two; with any three or more of the five, the pass costs less. The finder does the arithmetic for your set, including any class that is sold separately, and shows both totals.
What each class covers
- Intro to Childbirth: labor stage by stage, early labor at home, warm-ups vs. real labor, hospital or home birth, relaxation and feeding basics.
- Preparing for Your Hospital Birth: hospital protocols, your options, informed decision-making and talking with your care team.
- Comfort Measures: coping tools, movement, positions, water, heat, cold, counterpressure and breathing.
- Bringing Home Baby: newborn cues, the first bath and diaper changes, feeding options, sleep and your own recovery.
- Breastfeeding: normal infant feeding, cues, schedules and paced bottle feeding, positioning and latch.
- Preparing for Your VBAC: choosing a supportive provider and preparing for a vaginal birth after cesarean.
- Newborn Care 101: everyday newborn care, written for families welcoming a baby through adoption or surrogacy and anyone who wants care skills without the birth class.
How the finder chooses
If you are giving birth, each topic you tick maps to one class, and a VBAC answer of “yes” or “not sure” adds the VBAC class. If your baby is joining your family through adoption or surrogacy, the finder starts from Newborn Care 101 and adds Breastfeeding if you want help with feeding, including paced bottle feeding. The finder chooses classes, not care: for anything medical, your provider is the right person to ask.
Questions people ask
How do I know which classes I need?
The finder suggests a set from your answers; your own priorities settle it. Each class page lists exactly what it covers.
Is the pass cheaper?
It depends on the set. The page shows the published individual prices next to the $149 pass price for the classes you picked, so you can see the difference either way.
Can I buy classes one at a time?
Yes. Every class is also sold on its own with its own page and price.
Are the VBAC and Newborn Care 101 classes in the pass?
No. The pass page lists both as separate classes, so the finder adds them on top of the pass when they match your answers.
