Childbirth


Our childbirth classes are based on the belief that women are beautiful and are made to deliver the baby (or babies) they have been given. Birth is a natural, manageable, family centered event that progresses best with love, support, and knowledge. Our goal is to help each family become wise healthcare consumers and to partner with their providers for a safe birth using as few interventions as possible. Although the class strives to educate consumers toward natural childbirth, classes are for prepared childbirth, not just natural childbirth. Instructional information also includes pharmaceutical pain management options, possible medical interventions, and cesarean birth. Not only will this series prepare you for labor and birth, but it will also provide you the opportunity to meet other soon-to-be parents with whom you can share your experiences. 

We offer a four-week series, two-day online series, a modified 1-day in-person class, and a class specifically tailored to couples expecting twins or triplets. It is best to select a course series or class that will complete about 4-6 weeks before your due date (couples expecting multiples are encouraged to sign up for a class that starts when they're as early as 24 weeks). Private classes for high risk pregnancy situations are also available.  In-person classes take place at Old Stone Church 251 Main Street, East Haven. 

Please note, classes fill up quickly so we recommend you register early. However, we know that times flies when you're pregnant (except in that last month), so if you find yourself getting a late start and classes are listed as full, please contact us anyway. We can add you to a wait list in case someone delivers early or, if there's enough interest, we can add another one-day class to the schedule.
