Why Lamaze® is
Still Vital During Pregnancy
 Dear Expectant
Parents,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! This is an exciting time for
the whole family. With this excitement, often comes anxiety and concern
about "the big event." Moms and dads have lots of questions:
- Will
we know how to handle labor?
- What
is labor like?
- How
will we know when labor begins?
- Who
can we talk to about our concerns?
Lamaze
Childbirth Classes encourage expectant parents to view birth as a normal
part of life. Basic class information includes:
-
Stages of Labor
-
Breathing patterns for labor
-
Relaxation Techniques
-
Hospital Procedures
-
Labor Support
-
Possible problems in labor
|
-
Pain Relief
-
Comfort Measures
-
Postpartum Adjustment
-
Healthy Lifestyles for pregnancy and postpartum
|
Breathing
patterns and comfort techniques are practiced with your partner so you will
be ready to use them in labor, if desired.
An important component of the classes is the opportunity to discuss concerns
with other expectant couples. We can learn from and support each other. You
have lots of company!
Our class
sizes are kept small, just four to six couples. This encourages
participation and helps to maintain a comfortable atmosphere. All questions
are important!!
Couples
often meet and become friendly. Childbirth class is a great place to join
others who share the life transition of pregnancy and birth.
I look
forward to speaking with you and answering your questions.
