Birth Class Together is a class meant to equip you completely with the education you need to walk confidently into your labor and birth. This is a great opportunity to connect with other families in RVA who are preparing for this new season at the same time as you. The curriculum for Birth Class Together is built on these guiding principles:

-Your body can birth a baby

-Birth is not always linear and varies as much as people vary.

-Education and Understanding can reduce fear and tension and therefore prevent unnecessary pain in birth

-Modern medicine is a gift and we are so glad to be able to utilize it when necessary, but birth is a natural process and does not need intervention when things are going well.

-Birth is physical, spiritual, mental, and relational.

In our three week class we will discuss, practice, and learn together while we engage topics like:

-Anatomy and physiology of birth

-Healthy choices, body conditioning, body posturing, and nutrition for a healthy and strong pregnancy, birth and baby.

-Relaxation, breathing, and mental preparation for labor, birth, and postpartum

-Stages and phases of labor, what they look like, feel like, and what you can do.

-Pain theory and management of discomfort in labor

-Partner support

-Fears

-Comfort techniques for labor

-Possible scenarios where medical interventions are introduced.

-Risks and Benefits of interventions and medical pain relief.
