Why does Hilary Erickson emphasize the importance of prenatal education over social media learning?

I believe that prenatal education is crucial because it provides structured, reliable information from a professional perspective. While social media can be a great source of community and shared experiences, it can also perpetuate misinformation and fear. For instance, horror birth stories can go viral, leading to unnecessary anxiety. Also, not everyone who speaks on a topic on social media is an expert.

In contrast, a prenatal class, like the one I offer, is designed to prepare you and your partner for birth in a fun, concise, and affordable way. It's about getting you on the same team for your upcoming birth, armed with knowledge and confidence.
