Having Your Baby Your Way Series
Knowledge is power. This three-week course will give you the knowledge you want to approach labor with confidence. It will give you the information you need to partner with your physician or midwife so that, together, you can make the choices that are right for you and your baby.
Topics include an overview of normal labor and birth, what happens if labor doesn’t go quite as planned, available interventions, medications, anesthesia, cesarean birth, and the immediate newborn and early postpartum period. You’ll be introduced to relaxation, breathing, positioning, and pushing techniques. And you’ll have time to get your questions answered.
