What can I expect?
Start & Progress of Labour
What do I do when my water breaks? How do I know when to go to the hospital? What happens if I'm overdue and labour hasn't started on it's own?
All these questions and many more are addressed when we talk about what to expect during labour.
Pain Management during Labour
How in the world will I manage the pain? How bad will it be? Can I get an epidural ? How can my partner support me best?
Here we will take about the facts and science behind 'pain' and about tools you'll be offered in a hospital birth to minimize the pain.
Breathing, Relaxation and Comfort Techniques
How can I best cope with the challenges of labour wihtout using medication? How will I know when and how to breathe? How can my partner support me best?
Through information, videos, and practical hands-on skills, your anxieties about birth will be minimized and you'll feel ready and prepared for the challenge ahead.
Breastfeeding and Newborn Care
How will I know how to breastfeed? How do I know my baby is getting enough to eat? How many wet diapers should my baby have? When should I go to the doctor? Do I need a midwife?
Going through scenarios and questions, you'll calm the fears you have about taking home your little baby. We'll practice breastfeeding positions with dolls and pillows. You can also practice changing diapers, swadelling, or whatever else you want to practice!

Every person, every pregnancy, every baby is unique. Classes are individually accustomed to the needs you have.
