Childbirth and Parenting Preparation
Our classes go beyond what typical childbirth classes offer. No long lectures here! You will learn lots of
practical information through thought-provoking dialogues, interesting videos, and memorable exercises.
Expectant couples master a variety of mind-focusing practices which include breathing exercises, practice of
labor comfort measures, training as a labor support partner, and exploring the compassionate use of epidurals.
Using methods from Lamaze International and Birthing From Within we will explore the strength needed to
give birth, ways of acknowledging your fears and finding solutions, role of the support partner, pain coping and
comfort skills, medical options, and normal progress in labor.
Our classes cover:
-Normal labor, birth, and the early postpartum period
-Positioning to facilitate the normal progress of labor and birth
-Massage techniques to ease the pain of labor
-Coping skills to use during labor and after pregnancy to relieve stress and suffering
-Labor support skills for the birth partner
-Communication skills for the pregnant woman with her partner and with members of the health care team
-Guidance to make informed decisions about the use of an epidural
-What to do should a cesarean birth become necessary
