Birth Basics – A Refresher
Based on the Injoy Understanding Birth curriculum, this 2.5 hour condensed class reviews what to expect during the birth experience and considerations to be aware of when everything doesn't go as planned so expectant parents can be prepared to make informed decisions and empowered during their birth experience.
Topics include a review of physical changes necessary for birth, reviewing the stages of labor and how to identify when you are in labor, viewing a video of a birth story, reviewing different medical interventions and pain management options, what to expect if a cesarean is needed, and physicals changes to expect the first few hours and days after delivery.
This class is offered as an e-class and is ideal for a refresher or for those unable to attend the full Birthing with Confidence class. Birth Basics pairs well with the Labor Skills Workshop.
