This course prepares you and your partner for labor, delivery, and caring for your newborn.
Sessions focus on practice and discussion, giving you information so you can make informed choices. This course includes information on signs of labor, what to expect in labor, comfort measures, breathing and relaxation, options for pain relief, and other labor and delivery information. The final session includes information about your newborn and a tour of the Birth Place.
Class sizes are limited to encourage maximum participation. We encourage registering for the course between the 4th and 6th month, choosing a completion date that falls approximately three weeks before your due date. To learn more about The Birth Place click!
