Description

*In person class* This Childbirth Prep class is 8 hours long and will be taught in two 4 hour sessions. - (BB) Our Childbirth Prep Class focuses on labor and delivery of the baby, providing an overview and emphasizing the many variations of normal birth. Taught by a certified childbirth educator, we will explore practical information through thought-provoking dialogues; have a frank discussion on pain in labor and how to proactively cope with it; directly explore some of the “what-if’s,” medical interventions, and proactive techniques to reduce the potential of needing them. You certified childbirth educator will guide you through these topics via short videos and posters, and a booklet is provided to all participants. Some floor exercises may also be included to practice comfort techniques, so please dress comfortably. It is generally recommended that you choose a class that finishes approximately 3 weeks before your due date or between 33 weeks to 36 weeks of your pregnancy, unless you are expecting twins or unless your physician has advised you otherwise. The health and safety of our patients, families, and staff are important to us. As part of our response to COVID-19, we continue to follow safe practices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also called the CDC.
