Childbirth Preparation Classes
Tailored to your interests and expectations, this class will cover the basics of what you may experience birthing your baby. It will be specific to the hospital where you are delivering and their procedures. We will cover: Stages of Labor, when to go to the hospital, basic breathing exercises, positions, pain medications, danger signs, emergencies, induction, caesareans, and post partum to name the major headings. If you would like a natural childbirth without medication we can spend more time on relaxation techniques and breathing exercises. If it is an epidural you want, we can discuss when the best time is to ask for one. I have pictures to assist with our discussions, plus, we will watch a DVD on a normal vaginal delivery. A booklet is included for you to keep and read more thoroughly.One marathon 4 hour class or Two 2 hour classes: $150.00
