Be Actively Engaged in Helping Your Pregnancy and Labor Progress and Get your Baby OUT!
This class will help you avoid:
-Stop and start false labor.
-Additional medical support for a baby who gets stuck on their way down the birth canal.
-A very long labor because your baby is not in an optimal position.
The workshop will help you:
UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF HOW A BABY MOVES THROUGH THE PELVIS
We will give a brief overview that includes a look at more than just the bones of the pelvis, but how a baby fits and moves through the bones, ligaments, and other soft tissues as well as what influences how easily this happens.
USE SAFE EXERCISES IN PREGNANCY
Activities you do while pregnant can help your body be ready for a smooth labor. We will give you many ideas for how to get ready for an efficient labor. Start early and stay consistent for best results.
KNOW WHAT POSITIONS AND MOVEMENT TO USE IN LABOR
Being active in labor helps make progress– but which activities really help a baby find it’s way out? We’ll fill your toolbox with activities that are most effective for each stage of labor.
Come down and out little one! Your parents are eager to meet you!
Registration is for expectant parent and 1-2 support people.
Then this class is for you! We don’t make any guarantees about exactly how your labor will unfold– but we’ll give you the tools in your toolbox for giving you the best chance at a smooth and efficient labor.
