In our Childbirth Education Classes, we do everything we
can to ensure that our mothers to be and their families feel
confident and ready to face the wonderful challenges to come.
Through a combination of discussion, videos, and hands on
activities, we cover a lot of ground; everything from how
pregnancy is like athletic training, the whys and how of all
those pregnancy discomforts, and the stages of labor. We practice
labor positions, including using PT balls and the Birthing
Stool, develop different breathing techniques for different
parts of labor, and learn the vital importance of relaxation
(not as easy as you think!). We also cover newborn care, postpartum
issues, and breastfeeding.
The birth of your child can be a positive, powerful experience,
one that you will carry with you always. Through our Childbirth
Education Classes we hope to give you the tools necessary
to have the best birth experience possible.
