In-Person Prepared Childbirth Classes

Join Us for an In-Depth Labor and Delivery Class!

Prepare for your upcoming journey with our comprehensive Prepared Childbirth classes, designed to help you feel informed, confident, and ready 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 options cover the same in-depth curriculum.

Topics include stages of labor, comfort techniques, labor positioning, pain management options, the 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.
