Childbirth preparation classes
We just signed up for the ChildBirth Preparation and Infant CPR, Breastfeeding and Netborn Care classes at BirthU.com.
Our doctor recommended them to us, and they seemed like they knew their stuff on the phone (they've been doing it for 12 years...).
At $450 a couple, this must be a pretty good business to be in! Let's do the math shall we? They offer the classes twice a month, with on average 15 couples in the evening sessions and 20 in the saturday sessions. That's 35 couples a month spending $450...that's $15,750 a month, or $189.000 a year. Now even if 1/2 of that goes to taxes and another 1/3 of what's left goes to cost, that's a $63,000 NET a year job in which you work only 4 days a month. Not too shabby! ;)
More power to them, we'll report on the actual classes in August after we take them.
