Robin offers group and private childbirth classes based on the Lamaze® Healthy Birth Practices. The courses cover the changes in the end of pregnancy, advocating for the birth you want, birth planning, preparing for labor, positions that help labor progress, comfort measures, epidural anesthesia, relaxation, breathing awareness, cesarean birth, home birth, basics of postpartum and much more. While there is no one right way to give birth, it is important that you understand what options are available for you to choose. These classes are appropriate for those desiring a hospital birth or home birth.
These courses are limited to ten couples and you should pick a date that will have you finished by the 36th week of your pregnancy. This gives you more time to practice the various techniques and to use the information that you have been learning. This also helps if you wind up having your baby before your due date. These classes are for you and one partner of your choice. Please wear comfortable clothes in which you can move around and bring two pillows to class.
Class meets November 10 - December 8, 7:15-9:45p. Cost is $150 total: $50 deposit, $100 paid the first night of class.
