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
