Childbirth preparation classes are designed to help the expectant mother and her partner to have a positive birth experience. By using intuition to engage in the physical aspects of labor, deep relaxation to calm their anxieties, and knowledge to make decisions, a woman allows herself to surrender to the experience and thus remains ‘in control’ of her birth. Participants will learn the physiological aspects of pregnancy, labor and delivery, review research-based pros and cons of common medical practices, labor and birthing positions, and extensive relaxation work. Partners participation is highly encouraged, but not required.
