Prepared Childbirth
In-Person Prepared Childbirth Classes
Prepare for Labor and Delivery with Confidence
Our in-person Prepared Childbirth classes provide expectant parents and their support persons with practical information, hands-on practice, and tools to help them feel informed and prepared for labor and delivery. Choose the format that best fits your schedule- a full-day weekend class or a three-session weekday evening series. Both formats cover the same comprehensive childbirth curriculum.
Topics include stages of labor, comfort and relaxation techniques, labor positioning and movement, pain management options, the labor and delivery process, and hands-on practice to help support a positive birth experience. Partners and support persons are encouraged to attend and do not need to register separately. One registration covers the expectant parent and one support person.
