Having a child is
an exciting time in one’s life. Our Childbirth
Education Series offers unbiased, evidence based
information in order to effectively make the many
choices during this amazing time. We truly believe
that birth is a normal life process and women’s
bodies are designed perfectly for childbearing.
Based on the motto of the International Childbirth
Education Association, “freedom of choice
based on knowledge of alternatives” this
course offers a curriculum dedicated to educating
parents about options and alternatives. A few
of the topics that will be discussed are relaxation
techniques, writing a realistic birth plan, comfort
measures in labor, choosing a healthcare provider/place
of birth, stages of labor, benefits of a doula/labor
support, medical interventions, cesarean birth/VBAC,
and introductions to breastfeeding and baby care.
This class is interactive with activities and
a multimedia presentation format. Classes are
kept small for optimal learning and one-on-one
attention. All mothers are welcome regardless
of chosen place of birth, sexual orientation,
or relationship status. |
