How does Esali Birth differ from hospital classes?
The main difference between Esali Birth and a hospital, or other affiliated class (even Bradley, Lamaze, and Hypnobabies) as Esali Birth is independent. Esali Birth is not regulated by hospital policies and procedures, like that of a hospital, and is not restricted on class length and content, like that of Bradley, Hypnobabies, Lamaze, or other childbirth “method.” This allows Esali Birth to provide the most accurate information and guideance for every type of birth, every type of care provider, and every birth location. A typical hospital course will focus on “what to expect when you arrive at the hospital,” rather than choices that you have that will affect your perinatal experience. Additionally, Esali Birth focuses on positive, research-backed education that is complete information throughout the perinatal (pregnancy through postpartum) period. A hospital course will rarely discuss home birth and midwives as an option, and at Esali Birth we talk a lot about the option for a midwife
