In a comprehensive childbirth education
class, we will discuss everything you need to know.
But, you will choose what we focus on and how in-depth
you want to go in each topic area. Below are a few
examples of typical class frameworks:
| • |
First-timers:
This is a comprehensive look into pregnancy,
labor & birth as well as the postpartum
period. We’ll talk about the physiological
and emotional changes you will experience throughout
your pregnancy as well as many of the choices
you’ll need to make regarding prenatal
and newborn testing. We will discuss the stages
of labor, work on your ideal birth vision and
help you to create a meaningful birth plan.
We’ll also help you to prepare for a magical
and well-supported post-partum. |

Course:
You’ve done it before, but maybe you want
to do it differently this time. Let’s
talk about your ideal birth and take the steps
to help you manifest your dreams! Maybe you’re
not sure of your options and want more information
or perhaps this baby is with a different partner
and you want some support in bringing your visions
together. This course is designed to be comprehensive
and covers pregnancy, labor & birth as well
as postpartum. |
