Breath of Life: Five Week Childbirth Series This five-week series helps expectant moms and dads understand the process of birth, emotionally and physically, and provides them with practical tools to move through labor without any medical interventions. Moms will learn how they can stay low-risk, and dads and labor supporters will learn easy techniques for supporting a mom in labor. We will also practice conscious breathing and/or relaxation in every class, positions and comfort measures for labor, and create a setting for a labor rehearsal. We will also cover the basics of breastfeeding and baby care. _______________________________________________________________________ Understanding Birth e-Class This online course helps to prepare expectant parents for their baby's birth on their own time and schedule. Designed with links to informative videos, supportive websites and excellent handouts, the course takes 6 to 8 hours to complete. $99 includes two weeks of access to the course, and 24-hour email access to a certified childbirth educator for the duration of the course. _______________________________________________________________________ |
