Week 1 & 2: Understanding Labor & Birth
Understand the basics of birth physiology; hormones and how they work together to start and continue labor, how to work with the pelvis and uterus as they change and move, and how thoughts and emotions may play a roll in how childbirth unfolds. Learn what to expect where you have chosen to give birth, routine procedures, as well as discovering how to make the best decisions for you and your baby.
Week 3 & 4: Nurtured Mother, Baby, Family
Often so much time is spent preparing for childbirth, that couples feel at a loss for what to do once the baby arrives. This class is designed to help families prepare for a healthy postpartum and a new normal. We will cover breastfeeding basics, developing secure attachment, postpartum healing, and healthy transitions when adding another little person to your family.
