A good class will equip you with invaluable knowledge on the
processes of pregnancy and
birth, as well as teach you and your partner some skills and tricks for
comfort during labor, and caring for your baby.
But what I can do is educate you and your partner on the
birth process, teach you hands on
comfort measures, provide you with expert resources, and support you
during and after
birth.
At your birthing location I will remain with you throughout labor and
birth and provide emotional, physical, and evidence - based informational support on various position changes,
comfort and relaxation techniques, on the labor and
birth process; provide understandable explanations of various medical techniques; implement the
birth preference plan that you developed
during your pregnancy; facilitate discussions with your doctor / midwife and the medical staff; and provide support and guidance in outlining alternatives if changing the
birth preference plan becomes your choice.
