Virtual Childbirth Express

The Virtual Childbirth Express class is offered as three 2-hour classes via Zoom. This class is conducted by a live instructor and will cover the same material as our in-person Childbirth Express class. Time is allotted for Q&A during each 2-hour session.

• Class topics include:
  • Pregnancy basics
  • Understanding labor and birth
  • Medication and anesthesia
  • The basics of Cesarean birth
  • The early post-partum period

   

  Relaxation techniques are introduced in class for partners to practice on their own at home. If you are interested in practicing relaxation techniques in class, with feedback offered from an experienced childbirth education instructor, Childbirth Preparation may be the more appropriate class for you.

  Parents who plan to breastfeed should take a separate Breastfeeding class.

  Class cost includes a virtual WebApp. Instructions to access the WebApp will be provided upon registration for the class. The web app includes educational content as well as video clips, printable charts and checklists, interactive web tools and much more.

  Class fee includes participant and one adult partner. Partners are encouraged to attend.
  
  Class length: 3 class sessions, two hours each
  
  Class cost: $179
