Six Session Denver Childbirth Class Series

Why should I take a Heart and Belly Childbirth Class?

Childbirth classes prepare you for the rite of passage into parenthood. This preparation is not entirely about facts and numbers, it is also about the intangible beliefs that you have regarding birth. Because my classes are small, I am able to give you individual attention that addresses your situation with a careful mind to your hopes and fears. These classes can be customized to reflect your own personal situation. Childbirth classes give you an opportunity to explore pain-coping methods *before* you go into labor. No doctor can assure you of being completely out of pain and comfortable the entire time. Every pregnant mother-to-be will experience the challenges of labor or a c-section and all new mothers will experience the post-partum time. We will cover the full variety of options that you have regarding care-providers, place of birth, medical and non-medical options, and how to determine what is best for you and your family. We will also cover pre-natal and post-natal care of both mother and baby. I do have a recurrent class schedule; however, I am more than willing to work with your schedule.
