Congratulations on your pregnancy!  What an exciting time in your life, but probably a scary time as well.  Expecting parents have many fears and concerns, along with the joy and anticipation.

Childbirth classes are a way to help you with your fears, so that you can leave classes not as scared as you came. Even though childbirth is a normal, healthy process, there are lots of negativemessages out there that might really be scaring you, and I can help you with that.  Don't settle for the quicky, "drive through" version of childbirth classes when what you really want and need is the restaurant experience with a tablecloth, real napkins and real silverware. 

You'll learn all about: 

You'll learn all about:

  • Stages of Labor and the Birth Process
  • Breathing and Relaxation
  • Comfort Measures & Labor Coping Skills
  • What to Expect
  • Coaching and the Role of the Labor Companion
  • Technology, Medication & Cesarean Birth
  • Breastfeeding, Postpartum & Baby Care
Planning on an epidural?
Planning to have an epidural in labor does not mean you don't need a birth class!  How will you  cope before it is medically advisable for you to have an epidural?  What if you arrive at the hospital too far advanced in your labor to receive one? Learn how to work with an epidural to minimize potential side effects and have the best outcome.  Besides, birth classes cover many more topics beyond medications, see the "Class Topics" page.

 

Everyone, regardless of your plans to have a natural or medicated birth, needs to prepare for whatever Mother Nature may have in mind for you. Come to class and learn how to cope with the most challenging yet rewarding day of your life!

A new class begins every month, on either a Tuesday or Wednesday night.  We begin at 7pm and end at 9pm.  The classes are held in my home in East Ventura, near the Century 16 Movie theatre. Please visit the web site at www.venturabirthclass.com for the current schedule.
