Coping with Labor Pains- December Childbirth Class

A hands-on, interactive birthing class that creates confident parents

In this class, you will learn the tools and techniques you need to cope with labor pains without the use of pain medication. You may have been told that birth is painful, scary, or uncontrollable, but it doesn't have to be! It will be challenging and powerful, but with the knowledge and hands-on practice from our class, you can confidently work with, rather than against, the force of your labor. Even if you are considering the use of pain medication, this class will ensure you have the tools you need to navigate early labor, before pain medication is available.

In this class we will cover:

- Breathing techniques

- Hands on pain management techniques such as hip squeezes, counter pressure, massage, and much more

-Optimal positioning for labor and variations of normal

- How to use labor tools such as the rebozo, birth ball, hydrotherapy, TENS units and much more

-Benefit and risk assessment for easy decision making

-Mental techniques for relaxation

-How to achieve a natural birth in a hospital setting

-Establishing positive relationships with medical staff
