Excited about the big day? Not sure what to expect? This three-class series is designed for expectant parents in their final trimester of pregnancy. This class will cover:

• Female anatomy.
• Warning signs.
• Pre-labor and labor signs.
• Phases of labor.
• Timing contractions.
• Comfort measures.
• Breathing techniques for labor.
• Pain management options.
• Birthing options.
• Cesarean deliveries.
• Your partner's role.

It is recommended participants wear comfortable pants/shorts and flat shoes/slippers for floor exercises. Please bring the following items to class:

• Two standard "bedroom" pillows.
• Two pencils or pens.
• Something to put on the floor, like a beach towel, exercise mat or small blanket.
• A small, portable item such as a stuffed animal, postcard, etc. This item will be your focal point during breathing exercises.
• Water and snack/meal for break time.

Each class is taught by an experienced childbirth educator who tailors each class to those in attendance. Classes are designed to answer common questions parents have while providing real-time instruction to guide participants through practical skills.

Classes are taught over the course of three days to total approximately nine hours of instruction time. Registration includes class materials, tax and one free parking validation per day, if required.

Classes are designed for adult participants. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate children in class at this time. We thank you in advance for your understanding.
