Knowing what to expect during childbirth can help reduce stress about the experience. Join us to prepare for the arrival of your baby by discussing topics such as the stages of labor and delivery, labor support techniques, breathing and relaxation strategies, pain management, and C-sections. Pregnant women typically attend these classes in their third trimester. Support partners are encouraged to join!

It is recommended to bring the following items as we will be moving to the ground for interactive practice of comfort techniques during labor:

• Two (2) pillows for each participant

• One (1) blanket, comforter, or yoga mat
