Birth Preparation!

 

Being informed and educated is one of the most

important gifts you can give yourself. A recent

report came out which shows that the United States

is the only developed nation with a rising mortality

rate and is ranked number 60 on the list! That

means that there are 59 countries with better rates

than we have here! We need to do something to

improve that! That is where birth classes come in

as a first step to empower you to have all the tools

you need to make informed decisions and have a safe, healthy birth!

Here's a presentation on the subject done by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:

You get to choose! Do you need an entire series that covers everything from early pregnancy to the postpartum period and infant care? Or are you already seasoned parents and looking for a refresher class to learn the most up to date info and get emotionally prepared for a new birth experience? 

 

Our goal is to serve your needs and provide the best service that fits you, whether you are hoping for an all-natural birth or have a scheduled cesarean section! 

 

Giving birth is not a medical conditon! It is a very natural process that has been going on for centuries. It shouldn't be something to be feared, but rather be a joyful time! One of the topics we talk about in classes is how to be relaxed during labor. If you are relaxed during labor, scientifically speaking, your labor will be less painful and also possibly shorter! If you have a lot of tension and fear, that can actually inhibit labor and make it more painful!

 

You may have heard of the name Lamaze or Bradley Method for birth preparation classes. Although we are not specifically associated with either of those organizations, our classes include many of the same topics you would learn in one of those classes and are open to the needs of our clients to adjust them to fit, since we are all not the same and don't fit into the same box! We are different in that we allow the freedom to provide the kind of class you, the parents, are looking for!

 

Our birth preparation series includes many helpful natural birthing tips, as well as training for your partner to be your support during labor. You will have the opportunity to learn how to understand medical lingo and

common hospital procedures to make informed decisions, how to decrease pain in labor and give baby the opportunity to get in the best position possible (all the things covered in the comfort techniques class), good nutrition and health during pregnancy, the entire process of development of baby from conception to birth, changes in the body, emotions involved in the process, special tips for new dads, breastfeeding tips, postpartum care info, infant care, and more!

 

We also have a special class available for Early Pregnancy to help you get a good start and control all those pesky early pregnancy symptoms!

 

All classes are designed to fit your specific goals and will give you the personal attention you need. A free evaluation will be done when you sign up to ensure you get the most out of your class!
