Birth: Media and inculturation

Assalamua'laikum,
I did not grow up in a culture which originally have "childbirth classes" (well, it is a modern requirement, not existing traditionally) and the old wisdom of birth had been erased from the generation (none if any traditional midwife attended home birth exist anymore, and the mindset is to look for a doctor, not a midwife).

But by little of what childbirth education classes ARE presented in the popular media, set me on a journey to look for childbirth education classes (NOT the "hospital antenatal class"). Alhamdulillah

In today's world we rely on the media to propagate good and truth. In the hands of people who truly (not seemingly) are dedicated to truth and good. But truth and good will prevail anyway, regardless of popular tool of propagation.

I look forward to the day, childbirth no longer relies on "classes" as the medium to spread the knowledge. As it were in the old old days, it merely involves socialization. Perhaps we will never see that day again. And classes, seminars, re-education is the way of the last days (before the hereafter).
