So you are having a baby! What an exciting time! You may be wondering what the best ways to prepare for you impending labor would be. You’ve read some books and seen LOTS of tik toks but there’s so much information out there! Who do you believe and how do you sift through it all?
Taking a childbirth education class can have huge benefits for expecting parents. My KC Doula offers both group and private classes. We believe that preparing families for one of the biggest days in their lives is the most important thing about our job and that all begins with a CBE (childbirth ed) class! Taking a class offers so many benefits as you learn to navigate the birth system whether that be in a hospital, birth center or at home.
You studied for your ACT/SAT, you studied for your finals in college, you may have studied for the bar or some other form of higher education. Don’t sleep on studying for the biggest day of your life! When we put energy into knowledge, we can find so much power as we are faced with so many new things during the birth and postpartum experience.
So many families have shared with me just how difficult it can be to find friends who are in the same stages of life that they are. One great place to start is attending a childbirth class! These classes can introduce you to new people who are experiencing so many of the same trials and joys that your family is. Being able to share and support one another is invaluable during such a new and exciting time.
Our group childbirth classes offer a huge variety in information. Our four week series covers pregnancy and labor, postpartum, newborn care & infant feeding. Despite popular belief, tik tok is not a good teacher (although the tid bits can be a game changer!). Investing in your family by taking a childbirth ed class will set you up for success with your new little one and help you manage the stresses and excitements that come along with is!
Give us a call today to check on our most recent available class times. We can’t wait to talk to you!
