Childbirth classes refer to educational programs designed for expectant parents, providing them with information and skills necessary for a healthy pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum period. These classes typically cover topics such as breathing techniques for pain management during labor, different methods of deliveries (such as natural birth or C-section), what to expect in the hospital setting, how to care for newborns, and coping strategies for parents after bringing their baby home. The goal of childbirth classes is to empower expecting couples with knowledge and tools that will help them feel more confident and prepared for this life-changing experience.
