This comprehensive program shares helpful, research-based information relevant to those planning to birth in the hospital setting. High quality childbirth education reduces fear and anxiety for the mother-to-be and her partner before and during labor and promotes more confidence and participation in decision-making with caregivers. You only have your first baby once: Prepare and learn all you can!

- Pushing stages, birth process, newborn assessment and postpartum recovery is also covered and c/section birth is reviewed.
- Epidural anesthesia, medical pain management and medication options are discussed.
- Some natural coping methods such as relaxation, breathing and massage is practiced, but those hoping to reduce medications or other interventions should consider our Natural Childbirth or Mind, Body, Birth classes for more detailed information and practice.

- The importance of the partner's role as support person is stressed, with practical suggestions and helpful techniques for each stage of labor and birth.

- Some insurance plans will reimburse up to $100 after you have completed your childbirth education class. Check with your insurance company to see if you qualify.
