Hypnobirthing: KGH Vs The Calm Birth school, class vs online

Hi all, I'm 28weeks with DC1 and DH and I are keen to try hypnobirthing. We've both read The Calm Birth School book (because it was the only one available in the library) and enjoyed the style but everyone I know who's done hypnobirthing did Katherine Graves courses. Has anyone tried the Calm Birth School online course and could confirm if it's any good? Or done a course, online or face-to-face with the KGH style (I can't do her actual classes but could do one with a local teacher)? Just looking for recommendations really. Thanks!

I'm in the middle of a 4 session course with a local KGH teacher so I can't say if it's worked yet as I've not given birth but I'm really enjoying it. I love that it's empowering my husband. It's really relaxing and the lady teaching us is just absolutely fantastic.
I did buy a Maggie Howells book and cd earlier on in my pregnancy but after a stressful day a few weeks ago my husband said we should get someone in to help us, I just don't think we'd be as strong a team just from the book and cd - mainly because he wouldn't have read the book Grin whereas your partner has already shown he can do that

Thanks @HB2019. I do think hypnobirthing will help give my DH more of a role. I am lucky that he's on board with it though. I do worry that we're not disciplined enough to do an online course though, maybe a face to face one would be better but they're SO expensive and we seem to be haemorrhaging money for baby prep atm.
