In order to "get a feel" for the things I emphasize in class, let me share with you my 7 core beliefs about childbirth: - Babies are a gift! - Each birth is unique and deserves to be a special memory to treasure. - Expectant mothers must learn to know and trust their bodies! - Staying low risk is the best way to keep your options open and to get what you want out of your birthing experience. - Good nutrition, exercise and rest are 3 of the most vital keys to having a healthy pregnancy and an uncomplicated birth. - Childbirth takes preparation and work but is more than worth it! - Childbirth is just the beginning of an even bigger adventure - parenting!
Classes are generally held on Monday evenings from 6:30pm - 8:45pm. (Class day and times are somewhat flexible upon request) The full 12-week series is taught and includes personal reading, discussion, lecture, video, demonstration, hands-on practice and fun games. Each couple receives a student workbook and appropriate handouts highlighting additional resources. Classes usually include a snack break.
