What method of childbirth preparation is recommended?
Jean and Betty are certified instructors of Birthing From Within. In these classes, parents practice and master a variety of proven pain-coping exercises and build their pain-coping confidence. You and your partner will explore feelings about pregnancy through creative birth art. Topics covered include birthing as a rite of passage, “losing it” in labor, unique pain coping techniques, suggestions to make labor easier and shorter, pitfalls of labor “coaching,” and early postpartum issues. Jean offers a series of six evening classes in her home, located near the birth center. Please call Inanna Birth and Women’s Care to register for classes. Hypnobirthing and Bradley Method classes also offer excellent birth preparation. Of course, you are free to participate in whatever method of childbirth preparation best meets your needs and interests.
