Now offering childbirth classes at the Lovers Lane Birth Center located at Cottonwood Park ! Classes will be taught
every Saturday and Sunday. Classes are taught beautifuly combining the best of the top 4 philosophies of birth methods. Because of the busy demands life calls upon us I will condense the information into 8 classes instead of 12. 4 week classes are also available every month.
Why 8 classes?
The standard series of classes for a successful class is 4-8 continuous weeks for many reasons. First of all it works. The statistical analysis shows that students who attend a full series are more likely to have an unmedicated birth. In looking at renewal information it has been found that the fewer the weeks of classes the higher the rate of medication.
There are many reasons for this and perhaps the first is that there is a difference between learning information and preparing the body physically for an athletic event.
Birth is so much easier if you know what to expect. Eight weeks of information, practice, education through lecture, discussion, videos, and role playing will ensure you to what to expect; this can make a big difference.
THIS IS THE BIRTH OF YOUR BABY!
Commit to being the best you can be for your baby. Take the time to learn, practice and enjoy the thrill of birth. Take reign of things and be your own birth advocate. A healthy baby, healthy mother, healthy family is our goal. Four or eight weeks is a small commitment for a life enriching experience.
These classes will include:
- nutrition and exercise,
- the partner’s role,
- explain each stage of labor including role-playing,
- comfort measures (natural pain managment),
- complications and intervention education,
- being flexable in things don’t go as planned,
- how to create a birth plan that works,
- 3 hours of breastfeeding education,
- getting the new family prepared.
Please dress relaxed in loose fitted clothes. We will be sitting on the floor, practicing exercises, stretches, and relaxation techniques.
The goal upon completion of these 8 classes is to obtain the knowledge to having the birth that works for you and your partner and to empower you to make an informed decision in any situation; owning YOUR birth.
