CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION CLASS

The childbirth education class is designed for birthing people just like you! It is an in-person or virtual learning educational presentation for you and your partner/support person. The class reviews the stages of labor, pain and coping tools, positions and movement techniques, navigating the hospital, newborn procedures, initiating breastfeeding, and the postpartum period. We will also review pushing positions and birth of baby, the placenta, skin to skin, and delayed cord clamping. We help you make a list of your birth preferences. We also provide a basic understanding of common reasons a birth may not go according to plan and describe indications for induction of labor and cesarean birth.

This class is not meant to be overwhelming! We are here to ease your concerns and help you understand that birth is a normal, natural, and healthy process! This class is informative, but not formal, fun and interactive. We teach you when and how to advocate for yourself. We teach techniques that will help you remain calm and centered. We answer any and all questions - nothing is off the table. We know that when the class is over you will feel confident and supported about your labor and birth and your partner/support person will too!
