Who should take childbirth classes?

Whether you’re a first time parent or have given birth before, childbirth classes can provide you with important information to help you have a good birth experience. Ideally, you want to sign up for classes in your second trimester or very early on in your third. This way the information can be fresh and relevant in your mind when you go into labor but also gives you adequate time to practice coping methods and learn information to make informed decisions. Finding the right support during pregnancy can make all the difference in building confidence in your ability to give birth. I provide you with the knowledge and resources to make informed choices. Understanding how to support your body during labor leads to greater satisfaction of your birth experience, reduced fear and anxiety, and is associated with higher rates of vaginal birth.

Lamaze healthy birth Classes

Classes are based on keeping labor and birth as safe and healthy as possible with the Lamaze Six Healthy Birth Practices.

These classes are right for you, if you want to learn:

Evidence based information
Coping methods for labor
Stages of labor
Movement and labor positions
Decision making skills, your options, & how to advocate for what you want
The rights of childbearing women
How to create a positive birth environment
Strategies to build confidence surrounding birth
Medical interventions
Breastfeeding
How your partner can support you
How to create a birth plan

Classes are geared toward women seeking unmedicated, physiological birth. Pharmacological pain medication is discussed as one of the many tools in your tool box. All classes are intended for the pregnant woman and her partner.
