This class provides a look at what to expect and the basic preparations involved when planning a homebirth with a midwife. Your partner or one birth support person is welcome.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
Frequently Asked Questions about Homebirth
Identifying your questions, goals, and ideas
Building a supportive birth team

It's a lot of information, but don't worry! You can take it all home with you in a packet full of evidence-based information and an extensive resource list. This class also includes a custom workbook to help you outline what you would like your birth to look like. As we explore topics in class, you may begin to build an outline for your ideal birth, no matter where you choose.
Each family will leave with a goodie bag.
The class is approximately 1.5 hrs long and costs $50
Spaces are limited.
