UPDATE: The June 6 course will be available via the Microsoft Teams app. Registrants should download the app and will receive information on how to access the course.
To prepare you and your coach for a rewarding birth experience, this class covers breathing and relaxation techniques, methods of induction/augmentation of labor, comfort measures, options in labor, Cesarean births, infant characteristics, and options in feeding your child. We answer to the age old question, “when do I come to the hospital?” We also cover in the class how labor begins, what to look for, and when we want to see you in labor & delivery.
The end of the class focuses on common newborn behavior, feeding and sleeping patterns, basic newborn care, and selecting a healthcare provider for your baby. As part of the course, you will receive a 123-page manual which covers the birth process through the first year of life. Please remember to bring two bed-sized pillows to class and to dress comfortably.
This class is recommended for women in their 7-8 month of pregnancy.
