Preparing for Birth: 4-Week Thursday Series

This 4-week childbirth preparation meets for 4 consecutive weeks. This class helps prepare mom and her partner for the many aspects of childbirth and beyond. In addition, this class provides a safe forum to ask questions and help you make informed decisions about key issues surrounding your baby’s birth.

This class will include topics such as:

• Healthy developments in your pregnancy
• Stages of labor
• Warning signs
• Breathing and relaxation techniques
• Comfort measures
• Role of the support person and labor support
• Birth planning
• How to tell when you are in labor
• Pain relief options during labor/medical procedures
• How a birth doula can help
• Cesarean birth
• Labor and Delivery Tour

Our certified instructors offer you support and guidance via education in a unique way that will meet your individual needs.

We believe that childbirth is a process, not a method, and we recognize that there is no one right way to give birth.

Please register using the expecting mother’s name and information.

Please note: There is a waiting list for this class. As a courtesy to those waiting, kindly let us know if you’re unable to attend. If the class is sold out and you wish to be placed on the waiting list, please contact us.
