Happy Birth Way! - The Natural Birth Choice

Childbirth Classes for Expectant Parents Birth is the end of pregnancy and the beginning of life as a parent. It's one of the most important transitions in a person's life. Happy Birth Way childbirth classes can help expectant parents prepare for the birth of their baby by sharing: The physical and emotional signs of labor Breathing exercises Positions for labor What to expect when inducing labor The best ways for partners to support a laboring mom Variations in labor How a doula can help mom AND dad in labor Easy prenatal nutrition Pregnancy exercises to prepare for birth Coping with labor before or instead of an epidural How to avoid a cesarean birth The basics of breastfeeding Early home care for mom and family

"I wish I had known." Certified childbirth educator and Happy Birth Way founder June Connell has heard this statement from many first-time moms whose births didn't go as they had expected. When a mother-to-be knows the basics of birth and can proactively plan the details of her baby's birth, she can make decisions with knowledge and confidence so that when she holds her baby for the first time, she can say: "I'm so glad I knew."
"Thanks to this class, we had an easy, wonderful and natural birth in a hospital. June's knowledge and passion were obvious and recommend this class to everyone." -- A. Harrison "I learned that birth can be a spiritually bonding experience, not a medical procedure." -- Michael Risoldi, DC
