 Must Have Tools for Labor
  April 15th : 9:30 am - 1:30 pm - Roseville
 June 3rd   : 9:30 am - 1:30 pm - Sacramento

 

Must-Have Tools for Labor: This is the class you and your partner cannot afford to miss. If having your birth partner understand what to do with you as you enter labor is important to you, then be here! This class is designed so that the partners practice and learn all the techniques such as massage, breathing, positioning and others on mom so that they know what to do with mom while she labors and how to assist her in the process. They will go home with a "cheat sheet" to have on hand for labor. This is a very interactive class so after a time of teaching about signs of labor; true vs. false, watering breaking, when to go to the hospital.... then we actively practice all the techniques putting it all together as the couples move from station to station pretending to be in labor practicing the breath, position, massage techniques at each station..... very hands on.
Taught by: Julie Hurst. Childbirth Educator and proprietor of Herself Moms.
Cost: $55.00/couple.
