The Natural Childbirth class is designed to help the couple looking
for a more holistic approach to childbirth.
The Natural Childbirth class will cover nutrition and prenatal
exercise to help build a good foundation for the mother to stay
low-risk and grow a healthy baby. We will then review the labor
stages, comfort techniques, including relaxation, massage, birth
ball positions and visualizations.
We will be working towards an understanding of the Natural Childbirth
method and what your coach can do to help the laboring woman stay
comfortable and also help the baby to get into the optimal fetal
position for birth. Delivery/pushing positions and breathing will
help you and your partner understand your options for birthing
your baby.
The Natural Childbirth breathing techniques will be simple, easy
to remember and extremely helpful in labor.
We will go over common hospital practices and what to expect from
your caregiver and hospital. How to advocate for the things you'd
like during this birth.
Other topics in the Natural Childbirth class will include a discussion
of drugs and interventions, birth plans, breastfeeding and what
to expect during the postpartum period.
