| Who needs a Birthing Class? |
Pregnant women and their birth partners. Taking a childbirth class teaches about pregnancy, the birth process, and what to expect after the baby is born. Knowledge decreases fear and in this class we provide the expectant women with information and actual tools to help her labor along. Most all women and their support partners leave this class having a great sense of relief as they settle into trusting the process of birth.
