Prepared Childbirth
This comprehensive, twelve hour, class covers late pregnancy, labor, delivery, and recovery. It includes comfort measures, relaxation techniques, hospital procedures, medical pain relief options, and Cesarean birth. You will learn the signs and stages of labor, the role of the labor support person, the process of birth, and positions for labor and delivery. We will cover what to do during labor, when to go to the hospital, and details about all pain medication options. Class is a combination of lecture, video presentation, and hands-on-practice.
How does this class differ from our Natural Childbirth class? This class is designed for parents who are interested in having an epidural for their birth. However, taking the Prepared Childbirth class AND the Movement & Comfort for Labor class is recommended.
Having twins? Take this class (or the Natural Childbirth class) with the Preparing for Parenting Twins class.
