7-Week | NOVEMBER | THURSDAYS

This class is designed for any mother and her partner wanting to maximize the information they have about labor and delivery. It is delivered over the course of 7 weeks and should be started between the 29th to 31st week of pregnancy. This class will have a maximum of 8 mothers (and a partner), which allows for good discussion while maintaining the comfort of a small class.

Some topics include:

• What to expect in the final trimester of pregnancy, including signs of preterm labor
• Stages of labor- what each stage looks like and how to support your partner through each one.
• Exploring relaxation and coping techniques
• Introduction to prenatal yoga to relieve aches and pains and prepare your body for birth
• How to reduce and manage the pain of labor (pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods).
• Medical Interventions - when labor takes an unexpected turn
• Developing a workable list of birth wishes
• Labor rehearsal stations, how to push out a baby
• The first two weeks postpartum (including breastfeeding and the newborn)
