Will I be pressured into a natural / hospital / unmedicated / medicated birth?
Absolutely not. Fundamental to the Lamaze philosophy is the belief that every woman has the wisdom she needs to guide her through pregnancy and birth, and everything we do is designed to respect and honor that wisdom. This is important: our goal in every Lamaze class is to inform you completely of your birth options based on the most current perinatal research available, and then support you one hundred percent as your make your own decisions and birth plans, guided by your innate wisdom, life experiences, and intelligence. We may be experts at childbirth education, but YOU are the expert on YOU and we are here to celebrate and reinforce that fact!
