Are we ever truly prepared for childbirth? Probably not.

For parenting? Definitely not!

But in our Prepared Childbirth Classes, we do everything we can to ensure that our 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!). In our last class, we also cover newborn care, post-partum ossues, and breastfeeding.

The birth of your child can be a positive, powerful experience, one that you will carry with you always. Through Prepared Childbirth, we hope to give you the tools necessary to have the best birth experience possible.
