We offer private and group childbirth education classes. Our educators believe that there is no single
right way to give birth; instead, we believe in offering information and options, and respecting the parents' ability
to choose for themselves what their right path will be.
All students have open access to our extensive lending library of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding,
baby care, and postpartum books! Any of our books are FREE to be checked out and taken home.
The topics covered in our childbirth classes include:
- Anatomy and Terminology
- Nutrition in Pregnancy
- Stages of Labor
- Physical changes throughout labor/delivery
- Emotional responses to labor
- Coping techniques
- How to be a good labor support person
- Pain relief options
- Interventions - Your options and all of the benefits/risks
- Preventing tears and episiotomies
- Postpartum care of Mom
- Newborn proceedures
- Newborn care - 2-hour class including diapering, bathing, swaddling, cord care, etc
- Breastfeeding - a full 2-hour class is devoted to breastfeeding
To see when classes are scheduled, please take a look at the Schedule
of Events.
