Happy Hearts Childbirth Education Classes

Are you looking to learn about what options and choices you'll be faced with during your pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and early days of parenthood including how to care for a newborn? If your answer to any of these is yes, then Happy Hearts Childbirth Education Classes are right for you. I have received my childbirth educator training through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). www.cappa.net

Having a baby is a wonderful yet, bewildering experience. Expectant couples are excited about bringing their baby into the world, but are also faced with many unfamiliar questions and concerns. Happy Hearts Childbirth Education classes were designed to give you a complete understanding of the process of birth and techniques that will help you through it. It is my belief that women and their partners need to prepare and educate themselves on all the information they will need to make informed decisions for their care during labor, birth and the postpartum period.

This class series will cover such topics as:

Anatomy and physiology of pregnancy
Information regarding diet and nutrition
Exercises to make your pregnancy, birth and postpartum more comfortable
Creating a birth plan
Mechanics of labor and delivery (vaginal and cesarean)
Signs of labor (when to call your caregiver)
Stages of labor
Partner's role throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum
Non - medical comfort measures
Medical procedures related to childbirth
Medical terminology
Massage techniques
Relaxation techniques
Birth ball postures
Anesthesia and medications (including the pros and cons of each)
Common hospital interventions (induction, continual fetal monitoring, artificial rupture of membranes, episiotomy, etc. and the pros and cons of each)
Ways to help prevent an episiotomy or tear
Cesarean Delivery
Newborn procedures
Postpartum recovery
Newborn care and family adjustment
Breastfeeding
We will also focus on working through fears, getting to know your body, learning to 'let go' and how to communicate with your caregivers

This series of classes is dedicated to helping families experience pregnancy, the birth of their baby and becoming parents with knowledge, confidence, and joy. This class will help you and your partner learn what to expect before, during and after childbirth.

Happy Hearts Childbirth Education Classes are offered as private classes presented to you in the comfort of your own home that we can work around your schedule. There is a lot of information to cover as you can see and I want my clients to be well informed so that they can make educated decisions that are right for them and their baby.

Benefits of a private class:

Schedule class times that are convenient for you
You may have activities restricted or be on bed rest
The convenience of being able to relax in the comfort of your own home
The ability to discuss personal issues with ease
