NAVIGATE YOUR
BIRTH

What does normal birth look like? How can I minimize my chances of a c-section? What if I go past my due date? How can my partner help me through labor? As you look ahead to your birth, you may have many questions. Independent childbirth education, like the six-week Birth Informed series, provides answers that are specific to your birthing location, and that help you sort out the difference between practice that is evidence-based, and practice that is “what we’ve always done”. Navigate your birth with confidence! Birth informed!

DETAILS

The six-week Birth Informed Childbirth Class is comprehensive, engaging, evidence-based preparation for labor, birth, and early parenting. Using a wide variety of teaching methods and activities, the aim is to help you and your partner to identify your needs and desires, and empower you to make informed decisions. While many of the mothers who choose to take this class are preparing for an unmedicated birth, this is not a “natural childbirth class”. This is a class that helps you understand the process of labor, and helps you develop skills and understanding to work through the process.

These skills include labor coping skills, as well as decision-making tools, mental frameworks, and personal reflection on your own best ways of coping and communicating. We address all birthing environments (home, hospital, or birth center), and typical practices of care providers (nurses, and midwives or doctors) according to the birthing locations of the couples in the class.

Tiffany's class was critical to the successful birthing experience we had. I cannot imagine anyone more knowledgeable on the topic than her, and her course guided us to full preparation of what to expect. Tiffany is a very experienced, thoughtful, generous, considerate instructor, and an incredible resource. Spinning Babies add-on class also well worth it!
