Recommended to complete class by 36 weeks of pregnancy. Classes fill - register early!
This class includes all the content of the Getting Ready for Birth class but with an emphasis on strategies for birthing without medical pain relief (typically, epidural) and avoiding other common medical interventions. This 12-hour class series allows time for learning and practicing coping techniques so you can decide which ones work best for you. Medical procedures and medical pain relief are covered in a non-judgmental manner so that you can confidently create your preferences/plan and make decisions throughout your birth process.
Class is for the pregnant person and a partner/support person. We welcome all expectant families, regardless of birthing location.
