Adding one more item, like attending a prenatal class, to your to-do list may seem overwhelming. But there are good reasons to be prepared.
Why Attend a Childbirth Class?
Attending a Lamaze childbirth class can help you…
- Gain knowledge and avoid myths. With endless online resources, it's hard to separate fact from fiction. Lamaze instructors teach evidence-based classes to help you navigate through the noise.
- Get informed! Labor isn't the time to learn about your options and comfort measures. Plan ahead and be prepared.
- Boost your confidence. Birthing classes help families feel more in control and less fearful. You'll connect with other parents and gain confidence from certified educators.
My Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator was incredibly knowledgeable and introduced intimidating topics in an approachable, light-hearted way. Pregnancy and postpartum are such a sensitive time, yet parents are often bombarded with unsolicited advice, commentary, and criticism which can put you in your head and take you out of the moment with your family. Her style was very informative without piling on expectations or pressure. It’s some real talk, shared with some real empathy. She made a lot of space for whatever you're thinking and feeling going into this life-changing experience.
