Childbirth Preparation Classes

We strongly encourage you to attend a childbirth preparation class during your pregnancy.  A childbirth class will help you consider what options you might or might not want for your birth, and will prepare you for the birthing experience.  Many childbirth methods will teach you relaxation techniques that are the foundation to natural pain control.  There are several methods of childbirth preparation, and some classes are independent of a particular method.  While we have found the hypnosis methods (particularly Hypnobabies) to be extremely effective, we recommend you investigate all of them and find the one that is best for you.
