Education is Key to a Positive Childbirth Experience
Childbirth classes are fundamental in understanding how your body works in labor so you know how to work with your body, therefore making labor easier and shorter. You will learn about the standard procedures of hospitals, why they do them and what your options are. This information is also important for those delivering in a birth center or at home because we talk about having a backup plan in case you need to transfer. Knowing what to expect takes away so much fear and uncertainty, which in turn eliminates a lot of pain in labor. We often have fear of the unknown. Fear causes tension-tension causes pain. Come learn about labor and pain reduction techniques so you can anticipate your birth with confidence.
