Prenatal childbirth education classes help you focus on your pregnancy and get you ready for labour and birth. Our private classes allow you to have a childbirth education class that is tailored specifically to your needs. Our Prenatal Group Classes are a great place to learn essential information while meeting other parents-to-be. We book our classes according to your due date, so you’ll get to meet a group of clients whose babies will be born at a similar time.
In our Private Prenatal Classes and Group Prenatal Classes both yourself and your partner will acquire the skills and confidence needed to help make birth a positive experience.
The Prenatal Class covers many topics including:
- Information about what it’s like to experience labour and birth.
- An explanation of medical procedures that may be suggested during labour. We will talk about having your waters broken, monitoring your baby electronically, and having an epidural.
- Advice about what to expect if you have your baby by cesarean section.
- Advice on relaxation techniques, comfort measures and stress management.
- The opportunity to learn about and experiment with different birthing positions.
- An explanation of pain relief choices along with their risks and side effects.
- The chance to learn and try out massage skills and breathing techniques.
- The time to ask questions and think about the decisions you may have to make during your labour.
- A picture of the physical, emotional and lifestyle changes you might experience after your baby is born.
- The Best Start and Practices for Breastfeeding and how to get help after birth.
