Childbirth Education
Why?
If my body already knows how to give birth, then why should I need a class to prepare for this natural event?
Indeed, no class is needed to teach a mother’s body to make contractions. However, during the course of any labor there are many, many decisions to be made - by you! Health care today is based on Informed Consent, and it is up to you as expectant parents to become informed. Learning about the birth process, standard management, and exploring options and choices has the power to improve both, a women’s experience and the course of the actual birth events.
Studies have shown that parents who prepare well for the birth of their baby have better birth outcomes. Countless times have I heard women or their partner say about their birth ‘I wish I would have known that before - then I could have made a different choice!’ Or, in the words of Diana Korte and Roberta Scaer: ‘If you don’t know your options, you don’t have any.’
Birth memories last a lifetime. The first of many parenting decisions and the best investment you can make for yourselves and your unborn child is to take a little time out of your busy day-to- day schedules and become well prepared.
