Comprehensive Labor & Birth Classes
Preparing for your baby’s arrival is a journey, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our hospital-based classes provide evidence-based education and practical skills, all within the same facility where you will deliver. From the first signs of labor to your first days at home, we ensure you and your support partner feel confident, informed, and empowered.
What We Cover
Our curriculum is designed to be thorough and inclusive of all birth experiences:
-
The Big Day: Understanding the stages and phases of labor and end-of-pregnancy concerns.
-
Tools for Labor: Hands-on practice with labor positions and comfort measures.
-
Medical Care: Honest discussion on pain medication options, induction of labor, and Cesarean birth.
-
Support & Planning: Effective tips for support partners and guidance on creating a birth plan.
-
Recovery: Navigating the early postpartum period and physical healing.
Go Behind the Scenes
All of our classes include an exclusive tour of our Labor & Delivery and Postpartum units. You’ll see exactly where you’ll be staying, learn the check-in process, and get familiar with the environment to help ease any "delivery day" jitters.
