My wife is gonna be 9 months pregnant in July. In Mississippi. :(
South Carolina here. My partner is due in mid-August so our timing could have been a little better. :) We're reasonably close to the beach so I guess we'll be bobbing around in the water for most of July.

Some random questions about childbirth classes: how much do they normally cost, and have you found them to be worth it? It's $75/couple for the all day basic "this is how things go" class at our local hospital and that seemed steep to me. I also feel like there's so much accessible information these days that we might be okay without the class. Maybe I'm just cheap.

On a different subject, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy book for a first-time couple? I've read that 'What to expect when you're expecting' focuses a bit too much on things that can go wrong, which wouldn't be much good for either of us, but I don't know any others.

I like Emily Oster's "Expecting Better." Kind of a different approach than some of the other books...worked well with What to Expect and the Mayo book, in my experience.
