Now offering "BirthWise"
Childbirth Classes

 

I will offer the 6 week weeknight class again in the Fall of 2009

(I will be in TX for 6 weeks this summer getting some clinical training.)

Taught by Brenda Parrish,
CCCE, CLC, CD(DONA)

In our classes you will learn:

• Coping techniques for labor--the pros and cons of each method
• The process of labor and birth--knowledge is empowering!
• Informed consent and refusal--what are your rights as a mother?
• The hormones of labor and birth--learn how this perfect design bonds mother and baby and how our birth choices can "turn off" the flow
• Learn what evidence-based research says about interventions and the "domino effect"
• National statistics show 1 in 3 mothers will experience cesarean birth--how can you significantly reduce your risk?
• The care of newborns--how-to's for new parents plus what is normal and what isn't
• Breastfeeding success--up-to-date information and support for working and non-working moms from a certified lactation counselor
• Postpartum care and recovery--pampering for moms and planning for life's little changes
• Writing your birth preferences--how to express your desires about your birth and how to cope when birth throws you a curve ball!

Classes are 6 weeks, from 7-9:30 PM, usually on a weekday.
