Preparing for Birth April 5, 2010

To prepare for the birth of your baby, we explore the stages of labor and the birthing experience, coping and relaxation skills, and medical interventions such as induction of labor, epidurals and cesarean birth.Each session includes lecture/discussion, videos and time for practicing relaxation and coping skills (breathing and more). A tour of our Women's & Children's Center and Private birthing suites is included as a part of this class.The sessions are designed for the mother-to-be and her labor support person (we ask that only one person come with the mother-to-be for class.)Bring 2 pillows and a blanket and wear comfortable clothing.Location: Lourdes Women's & Children's CenterFee: $50 per couple
