Childbirth Education Classes September 15, 2010

Wednesdays, September 15 - October 6th, 6:30-8:30pm

These classes are designed to present women with evidence-based information so they can be active participants in their maternal care. Additionally, these classes guide women and their partners on how to trust their bodies' ability to birth and educate themselves so that they can have the labor and birth they want.

Classes cover topics such as the physiological model of birth, natural labor coping techniques(such as water therapy, breathing exercises, touch massage, and other comfort techniques for labor), medicated labor coping options, prenatal nutrition, breastfeeding, prenatal wellness, basic baby care, baby wearing, daddy boot camp, and more.

Classes will be held at The Birth Center in Sacramento, but you do not need to be a patron of the birth center to attend. These classes will be in the 4 week format, meeting once a week, for 4 weeks. Classes are two hours each.
