"Power Hour Childbirth Class" -designed for the busy mom-to-be. Three (or four) ninety minute classes designed to help you get ready.... get set....birth! This is a true "meat and potatoes" class. No frills, no silly games, just get down to business and learn what you need to know to be ready to birth your baby! Includes a wellness folder, labor companion's guide, two comfort tools for your labor bag, samples, magazines, and loads of handouts! We practice, practice, practice until you are confident that you can cope with whatever labor throws at you. You'll be comfortable in your own home where you can ask questions without feeling self-conscious, and practice relaxation on your soft couch or bed instead of the floor. Scheduled at your convenience. A fourth class can be added for additional practice time, and is recommended if a second couple is present.
Pregnancy Health and Wellness Class- one ninety-minute class focusing on "getting ready for the marathon of pregnancy and birth". Nutrition, exercise, relaxation, body changes, relieving pregnancy discomforts and more... The fee includes an information-packed folder, and samples of baby products when available.
Refresher Class -for those who have given birth before. Practice techniques for comfort and relaxation, and learn some new skills. Were there some rough spots in your last labor/birth that you'd like to smooth over this time? We'll talk about how to process those negative experiences, and ways to achieve your goals for this birth. Depending on your needs, this can be accomplished in one or two ninety-minute classes. Newborn Class- this is one ninety-minute class answering that age-old question "where's the instruction manual for this kid?". What's normal/what's not, newborn appearance, those first tests and procedures, solving breastfeeding difficulties, and the 5 "S"'s for soothing your baby. Christian Childbirth Class -for those who desire to incorporate the use of Scripture and prayer into coping techniques for childbirth.
