My next childbirth class series begins Monday, December 4th, 2006. Details follow:
BabyBodyBirth: love your baby / nourish your body / cherish your birth(TM)
(sponsored locally by API of Peoria)
I am very excited about this transformation to a
full spectrum, mother and baby centered approach that is both accurate and up-to-date. I am also very excited about the BabyBodyBirth approach to childbirth education, as it is not a “one size fits all” approach. BabyBodyBirth believes that all expectant moms should have a full understanding of the many options they will have during pregnancy and childbirth. This is key to achieving a satisfying birth experience–something every mother wants but which often looks different from mother to mother depending on her unique hopes and desires. Those wanting a natural birth will find everything they need within these classes to fully prepare for the birth they want, as will those who plan to use medications to help them along the way.
The BabyBodyBirth classes will be taught in three “modules.” Taught in a layout that is completely different from any other childbirth classes, the modules are independent of each other with no requirement to take all three. However, taking all three will certainly give mothers the most comprehensive childbirth education available. Please feel free contact me with any questions you may have.
