Expecting Joy - Natural Childbirth Preparation


Image


This class is designed to help you understand the natural process of labor and birth, give you a variety of tools to cope with discomfort, and provide you with the knowledge you need to make informed choices about your birthing time. Some of the topics covered include:

  • Creating a birth plan
  • Relaxation and breathing techniques
  • Overview of the normal childbirth process
  • Labor support
  • Comfort measures (both medical and nonmedical)
  • Variations and complications in labor
  • Discussion of interventions and informed consent
  • Cesarean birth (C-section)
  • Postpartum period
  • Breastfeeding basics
  • Newborn care

The class is twelve hours in length, and is currently being offered as a private class, in your home or mine. Generally it is best done as three, four hour sessions. Pricing will vary depending on location, but averages $200-300. If you have other friends interested in taking the class as well, group discounts are available.

If you have need of a shorter, more specialized class (e.g. class just on comfort measures), feel free to contact me to discuss that as well.
