-          This class is aimed at fostering a sense of community among the group.  We will create opportunities for couples to make new friends with others going through a similar experience.  Each week, we will check in with both birth partners and Moms, allowing time to share about the experience of pregnancy.

-          Our essential topics are created to be specifically useful –not to bog you down with too much information.  However, we are open and flexible to discussing topics that best suit you and your partner.

 

-          We believe in Empowering Moms -not scaring them!  We believe that Moms can be empowered to have the birth they want at the location and with the care provider they desire.  We are lucky to have so many choices, which can be different for each person.  

 

-We believe in empowering the birth partner to feel prepared and confident about the birth process.  Drawing from our doula background, we will show specific techniques for soothing, coaching, and assisting a laboring Mom.  

 

-We will have several guest speakers, such as a Midwife, a Labor and Delivery Nurse, a Physical Therapist specializing in the pelvic floor, and a Lactation Consultant
