Childbirth Education Six-Week Series

A six-week series, every Tues. 6 – 8 pm!

Wisdom Within presents a childbirth education series encompassing everything we believe a birthing woman and her family should know, designed to help each student have a beautiful birth and a great start with their new family.

The curriculum below combines many different birthing strategies and relaxation techniques (Lamaze, Bradley, Birthing From Within) to ensure that each student has a “tool box” full of everything they need to have a healthy, safe birth. Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth or undecided, this series is designed to build excitement and alleviate fears in the awe-inspiring and natural journey of pregnancy and birth.

Week 1: The Emotional Aspects of Birth
Week 2: The Sequence of Normal Labor and Delivery
Week 3: Evidence-Based Interventions
Week 4: Postpartum Physical and Emotional Care for the New Mom
Week 5: Postpartum Physical and Emotional Care for the New Baby
Week 6: Birth Art and Class Potluck
