Prepared Childbirth Classes
This informative class explains how your baby is developing throughout the pregnancy and what to expect during the birth process. You'll learn relaxation methods and breathing techniques. And we'll talk about what happens during each stage of labor. Hospital procedures, anesthesia options for labor and Cesarean delivery, along with recovery and postpartum will also be on the agenda.
Pre-register for class during your 2nd trimester of pregnancy - you will want to start class around your 30th week, so register early. Both you and your coach should plan to attend. Substitute coaches are also welcome. Please bring two pillows and a blanket to class. Call 757.312.6508 to register.
Classes are offered at various times to meet your busy schedule.
