Join Kimberly Durdin IBCLC for a uniquely focused Childbirth class for expecting families. Her childbirth class is a comprehensive overview of "what to expect when giving birth" that she has been teaching birthing families for over 17 years. This class is especially for the unique needs of those wanting an unmedicated birth.
Topics include:
- Finding your tribe-how to create community
- Pregnancy discomforts, what they mean and how to manage them
- Anatomy and Physiology of pregnancy
- Optimal Fetal positioning to improve labor progress
- Palpation for partners
- Stages of Labor
- How partners can support their laboring partner
- Pain Coping techniques
- Complications/hospital transport and cesarean birth (what to expect if that becomes necessary) (for home birth families)
- How to have a healthy postpartum period
In addition we will use wonderful tools to help you get the most out of this class, such as Birth Art, Mindfullness Techniques, and specially designed homework to help strengthen your partnership as you prepare for the life changing event of having a baby! (or two!)
This class is ideal for first-time birthing families though it is also suitable for VBAC clients seeking OHB.
