Preparing for Birth: 4 Week Series

1 ticket = 2 people

Led by our maternal child educators, this 4-week childbirth preparation series meets for 4 consecutive weeks. This class provides practical education, support, and guidance to help you prepare for labor and birth. You’ll gain the knowledge and tools you need to make informed decisions and approach your birth experience with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

• Anatomy and changes during pregnancy
• Warning signs and when to seek care
• Stages and phases of labor
• Comfort measures and coping techniques during labor
• The role of your support person
• Pain relief options and common medical procedures
• Cesarean birth
• Postpartum care during your hospital stay
• Labor & delivery + postpartum tour

Our Philosophy

We believe childbirth is a process, not a method. There is no one “right” way to give birth. Our goal is to provide education and support, so you feel empowered to make informed choices and navigate the birth experience that is right for you.
