Pregnancy and Childbirth Classes
Childbirth isn't simple, Being informed is.
Welcome to Informed Birth Choices, offering childbirth classes grounded in evidence based maternity care and integrating a wide variety of well known relaxation and coping techniques.
Knowledge and understanding are the keys to a relaxed, confident, and empowered pregnancy and birth. Together, during your prenatal class, we will explore the information, choices, skills, and techniques essential to achieving your best possible birth.
Special attention is placed on meeting challenges in labor and nurturing the family experience. All of my classes recognize that confidence and relaxation are determining factors in your ability to navigate childbirth. By replacing apprehension with knowledge, tension can be lessened with intentional relaxation. Repeated emphasis on techniques such as deep abdominal breathing, touch, massage, productive positioning, visualization, and the ability to invent your own methods will help you meet challenge of childbirth. In class your partner will learn along side with you the tools needed to offer effective childbirth support.
