Private Childbirth
Classes
In the comfort of
your own home, we will come and educate you and your family with everything
you need to know from the basics of pregnancy, all about labor and birth
to Postpartum adjustments. This class was designed to cater to the couple
who doesn't want to sit in a hospital setting with other couples, women
on bedrest, and is also great if you want your children to be involved
in the educational process of this magnificent process.
Classes are usually
taught in a five series format, but this can be modified to what you need.
Below you will find a brief outline of what each class will entail.
