I've been watching a prenatal class for free on YouTube, and it's been very helpful. It's best to watch it when you're at least 6 or 7 months pregnant. It teaches exercises you can do daily to ensure a faster labor, what will go on in your body during and after giving birth, as well as many other helpful pieces of information. The teacher is really entertaining and funny. She's a former midwife, and really seems to connect with her audience. Each part of the class is about 45 minutes long, but I've found that the length is helpful. I prefer to walk in place and do the exercises she teaches while I watch each video, since she says we should get about an hour of walking in every day. If you'd like to watch it, the first video is titled, "Prenatal Class - Part 1: Prenatal"

Imma check it out since I didn't go to any classes in person.
@hannahbbtt Id like to point out that I just realized today that it's only 3 parts. But either way I feel like it really helped. I'm gonna try to watch other prenatal classes every day instead, and keep doing my walking and place and exercises like I planned. I found a few that show different positions you can go into to relieve pain from contractions, and breathing techniques to do at the same time. Oh and I found a really great Ted talk on fear of childbirth, if you're struggling with the same thing. It was really reassuring. I definitely feel better now. Fear is just your worst enemy during labor and I'm trying my best to eliminate that.
