I'm Pregnant. Now What?

So you're pregnant. Your abdomen keeps expanding, you're always hot, your food doesn't taste right and you're not sleeping well.

You're reading everything you can about this mysterious process and the labor and deliverythat will end it. Your vocabulary is increasing by leaps and bounds: episiotomy, Cesarean, epidural—to name a few. You're learning more with each passing week.

Yet sometimes, between the books, the internet and your friends all this information becomes very confusing.

Where do you turn for the answers, for clarification, for a place to discuss your concerns? Your doctor or nurse midwife is the ultimate source, of course, but sometimes you want to know a little more before you approach them. You want to discuss it with medically knowledgeable individuals who can give you reliable answers to use as a springboard for a conversation with your health professional.

Lamaze childbirth classes are your answer.

You've probably heard of Lamaze and its breathing and relaxation techniques to help you cope with the pain of labor and its techniques for pushing the baby out. And, true, those are central to our classes, but we also give you a lot of other information. Information about partner's role, epidurals, episiotomies, fetal monitoring, routine hospital procedures and Cesareans.

We give you all the information you need, starting from the third trimester of pregnancy through the process of labor and delivery, the early postpartum period and early parenthood so you will feel confident and in control.

Moms and their partners usually take a class series while mom's in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. We offer weekend classes for one or two days and weeknight classes over three or four weeks. Our class listings section gives you all your options.

However you decide to take it, you will finish the course feeling prepared and more confident to meet the challenges of labor and delivery.

And you'll have the information you wanted to ask your doctor or nurse midwife those questions you've been hesitating about.
