Childbirth classes provide you with the essential tools to navigate your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. In our fast-paced and busy lives, we often spend less time together as a community supporting each other. With group childbirth classes, you will learn from and gain support from fellow birthing couples just like you! This natural birth prep program will provide everything you need to prepare for the birth you hope for and get ready to welcome your baby into the world!
Our birth prep program prepares women for a natural birth experience while also preparing them for variations in labor that might require medications, interventions and even a surgical birth (cesarean). We also want women and their partners to feel confident in the woman's ability to birth normally most of the time. Birth might not always go as you plan it to, but with these classes, you will learn to trust that you can still persevere through it with your chosen birth team. You will leave these classes feeling empowered and full of knowledge to welcome your new baby into your arms!
