Research has shown entering labor with anxiety can increase a woman’s risk of Postpartum Depression by 30%. Taking a childbirth class can help reduce anxiety by educating both the mama and her support person. Other cited benefits of taking a Childbirth Preparation class include:
- How to make your pregnancy, labor, and delivery more comfortable
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- How to tell when you are in labor
- Pain relief options during labor
- What to expect during labor and delivery
- The role of the coach or labor partner
- Connecting with other expectant families
Come join me at PeaceHealth in Longview, on Sat. 3/21; 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, for a fun day of education in Preparing for Childbirth. No matter where you plan to deliver, this class can give you tips and tricks for a great birth experience. This is an interactive class. Bring your partner, blanket and pillows; there will be a break for lunch.
Although there is a fee for this course, it is most often covered by insurance. Included with this class is a tour of the PeaceHealth Birth Center. Other classes available each month. Tell your friends!
