Birthing Basics

by Lisa Holloway

Topics Covered: Make decisions about the birth you want and prepare for the alternatives. Feel more confident and prepared for your upcoming delivery as you gain a deeper understanding of the childbirth experience. In class you will learn about the signs of labor, breathing and relaxation techniques, hospital protocols, the stages of labor, variation in labor, cesarean sections, the role of the birth support person, epidurals and other pain management options, and the postpartum period. Class Details: This class lasts approximately 4.5 hours. If you are planning for an unmedicated birth then I recommend taking my Birthing Basics PLUS course for extended learning and practice in breathing, relaxation, and movement.
