Childbirth Education and Epidurals

The following is a link to an article about whether or not you should take a childbirth education class if you are planning to get an epidural. I know West Penn Allegheny Health System offers a class called Birthing With An Epidural. I observed it one time and I am not really sure what the point of it was. Magee also offers a Meet the Anesthesiologist Night but I'm not sure about a separate class about epidurals. This article explores the reasons to still take a class.

We went to that class "Birthing With An Epidural". It was right after that that we began our frantic doula search at what... 30ish weeks?
