birthing classes

Did anyone not take a child birth class? I'm 35+5 and haven't taken any. Should I find one and go immediately or...? I have confidence that I will be fine without one but still nervous that I haven't taken one.
Is there an online free birthing class I can take?

Let them judge all they want. When family ask us if we are taking a class, we just say nope, women didn't need a class back in the day and they got through it

Thank you everyone. I figured all of this but I feel so judged by family and other people that I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.

Your money is better spent on prenatal yoga that will help you with strength and flexibility and breathing techniques.

I went last pregnancy and wish I'd saved my money. All ready had read everything they discussed in the one pregnancy book I bought. You can find the information for free elsewhere.

My whole philosophy was that I didn't want to know ANYTHING! I'm pregnant w #2 now and I'm more nervous because I know what's coming. I liked being dumb about it, just did what the drs and nurses said!

I watch a video online.  I wad going for an epidural so I wasn't too worried.  Turned out great.  You can't plan for anything so as long as your going to just go with whatever happens gig should be OK. If nervous or have anxiety I'd take one.
