The day your baby is born is a day you’ll never forget. This class will reduce your fear of the unknown and help you feel more confident in the weeks leading up to your baby’s birth. We’ll cover a variety of topics together including when to go to the hospital, normal labor progression, informed consent and pain management options – both medicinal and non-medicinal – just to name a few. We’ll also guide partners with what they can do to help during labor and after baby’s birth. Coaches who truly understand the birth process and feel empowered to participate make the best advocates for their partners during labor! 

This class is taught live, allowing for discussion and questions throughout. It is led by an experienced Labor and Delivery, Newborn and Postpartum Nurse who holds a certification in Childbirth Education. Our commitment to small class sizes guarantees a personalized experience for families in attendance.
