Understanding Birth eClass Follow-Up

Learn about birth in the comfort of your home! Our online childbirth class is ideal for those expectant parents who can’t attend an on-site childbirth class due to work schedules, time constraints, or medical conditions. The eight-chapter program is an interactive, web-based class that uses videos, personal birth stories, animations, activities, and games to teach all the essential information parents need to know to prepare for their birth. And because we know nothing can take the place of personal attention, once you complete your E-class, you will attend an in-person class that provides time to get questions answered, review, practice your skills, and have a maternity tour.

Our online childbirth class will help you:

• Understand pregnancy – what’s happening to your body, discomforts, warning signs, nutrition, exercise, and more
• Learn about labor – preparing for birth, pre-labor signs, the onset of labor, 3D animation of the labor process, and more
• See how the stages of labor unfold – watch amazing real-life birth stories
• Discover helpful comfort techniques – breathing, relaxation, massage, visualization, focal points, hydrotherapy, labor and pushing positions, advice for partners, and more.

Couples should plan on completing the online program prior to attending this class. Your class date should be scheduled as close to your expected due date as possible.

Cost: $175, (insurance often covers part of the cost!).
