For expecting mothers and their support person. This class will explore the mind-body connection, discuss beliefs about birth, and address fears and concerns surrounding birth and/or parenting in order to help prepare parents for the birth they desire. We will practice breathing and relaxation techniques which both lead to optimal relaxation during contractions and reduce the fear-tension-pain cycle. The class will also review comfort techniques and practice positions that promote comfort and help labor to progress. The class is interactive and hands-on, so clients will need to dress comfortably and bring a pillow, birth/exercise ball (if they have one), and bottle of water to class.
(NOTE: This class was formerly known as "Calm, Confident Birth").
First time parents are recommended to take the Prepared Childbirth One-Day Class or Four-Week Series or Online Class in addition to this class for all of the basic labor and delivery information.
Fee: $40 per couple
