BIRTHING FROM WITHIN™ CLASSES

Classes offer a hands-on, interactive experience including discussion, stories and art.

In each 8 week series we explore:

• Labor and birth as a profound rite-of-passage
• What labor and birth might look like from a birthing woman's perspective
• Building a pain-coping mindset
• Trying a wide range of practices for managing the intensity of labor
• Having support systems in place for labor
• Understanding and supporting a father's or loved one's role
• Making decisions in labor and giving informed consent
• Looking at both the pros and cons of using an epidural or drugs
• Nursing and baby care basics
• Planning for postpartum and more

Classes are two-and-a-half hours long and consist of seven prenatal and one postpartum class. There will be many opportunities for couples to dialogue privately and explore what might work best for the mother during labor and birth. Classes also include time to share in discussion and make meaningful connections with the other families.

Birthing From Within classes are fun, intensive, supportive and prepare families to embrace the magic and unknown of birth.
