Childbirth Education
My childbirth education classes utilize The Family Way Publications’ education materials, and reflects their philosophy that:
• childbirth is a joyful experience for which parents should prepare, and
• preparation should give a woman confidence in her body’s ability to give birth, to nourish, and to nurture her children.
Topics included:
• Anatomy of pregnancy
• Basic terminology
• Nutrition & Exercise
• Stages of labor
• Comfort measures
• Labor support
• Interventions
• Newborn procedures and care
• Breastfeeding
• Postpartum adjustment
Along with these topics you will:
• Learn how to communicate effectively with your partner and with your healthcare team
• Learn how to prepare a birth plan
• Practice non-medical comfort techniques for labor such as movement, position changes, comforting touch, visualization, breathing techniques, and affirmations
• Have access to a student workbook, handouts, and research information
