Natural Childbirth Classes



It's that time once again...........  We will be starting a series of Natural Childbirth Classes.  It is a 4-week series.  We will meet one night a week, generally on a Tuesday, with the first class beginning Tuesday January 31st.  If you are interesting in taking the series, please email me and we will add you to our list.  We keep our classes relatively small.  We will be pot-lucking, so if you are attending, bring a dish.  Any dish!  We do our best to keep it healthy though.  Bring a pillow and wear comfortable clothing, as we will on the floor part of the time.  This course is geared towards couples or bring anyone who will be at your birth supporting you...... Mother, sister, best friend, partner, doula, etc.  The goal is to teach you and your support partner how to help you through labor & delivery, as well as postpartum care.  This class is for families who want to have a natural birth whether it be in a hospital setting or out-of-hospital setting.


Some of the topics that we will be included - 
1.  Comfort measures while in labor
2.  Laboring Techniques
3.  Pushing Positions
4.  What to take to your birth
5.  What to expect at your out-of-hospital birth or hospital birth
6.  Breastfeeding
7.  Postpartum care
8.  The Benefits of having a Doula

Much, much more, but this will give you an idea of what we will be discussing and learning about.  See you soon!!
