Agenda
Class 1 - Early and Active Labor
This comprehensive childbirth class covers essential birth anatomy and physiology, helping you recognize the signs of labor and understand what's happening in your body during each stage. We'll explore early labor experiences, effective positions, and coping strategies. Then we’ll transition to active labor dynamics, including when to go to your birth location and advanced comfort techniques. You'll learn relaxation methods, breathing techniques, and various labor positions, while discovering how your support team can best assist you. We'll also review procedures at your chosen place of birth, ensuring you feel confident and well-prepared for your birthing experience.
Class 2 - Transition, Pushing, and Postpartum
This intensive class guides you through labor's final stages and beyond, starting with transition, where we'll explore what's happening in your body, how you'll feel, and targeted coping strategies. We'll cover navigating common labor challenges and minimizing interventions when desired, then transition to the pushing stage, including what you can expect, various pushing techniques, breathing methods, and effective positions. You'll learn powerful ways to reframe pain as a natural part of your body's working process. We'll discuss the Golden Hour—that precious first hour after birth for bonding and initial breastfeeding—followed by the immediate postpartum period and essential knowledge for your first days at home with your new baby.
Class 3 - Understanding Your Newborn
This essential newborn care class begins with what to expect immediately after birth, then teaches you the art of reading your baby's cues and understanding newborn sleep patterns. You'll master practical care skills, including bathing, cord care, diapering, swaddling, and dressing, while learning what's normal in newborn appearance and behavior to ease common new parent worries. We'll cover strategies for calming both yourself and your baby, then address important safety topics, including car seat basics, recognizing signs of newborn illness, choosing a pediatrician, and infant CPR essentials. Finally, we'll discuss preparing pets for a baby's arrival and confidently venturing out into the world with your newborn.
