Why Take a Childbirth Education Class?
Lamaze childbirth education supports the idea that birth is normal, natural, and
healthy. It empowers expectant parents through knowledge.
A Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator can answer your questions regarding
pregnancy, childbirth, as well as postpartum and early infant care.
Class time is a great opportunity to bond with your partner and meet other expectant
couples who may share many of your same pregnancy concerns.
Learn comfort measures, breathing, and relaxation techniques for dealing with the
pain of labor and birth.
Examine your birth preferences and receive assistance with writing a birth plan.
When Should I take a class?
Take a childbirth education class at the beginning of your
3rd trimester or in the 7th month of your pregnancy.
Childbirth classes are perfect for parents expecting their first child.
Refresher classes are available for experienced parents.
How do I know which class is right for me?
One-Day Childbirth Class -
This class is designed for the busy expectant parent. With all of the responsibilities
of the expectant parents these days, finding the time to devote 4 or 6 evenings for
childbirth education can seem almost impossible. This class will teach the basic

expectant parents who may desire private instruction for reasons of convenience.

include the basics of the birth process, how subsequent labors differ from first
labors, as well as sibling and family adjustments.

Anatomy and physiology of pregnancy
Signs of false vs. true labor
Stages of labor
Breathing and relaxation techniques
Overview/discussion of medical interventions
Role of labor support person
