Birth & the Bees Classes

Prenatal classes should be enjoyable, interactive, and provide you an opportunity to connect with your inner-self, baby, and partner--so you can feel confident & empowered as you prepare for the milestones that await you. Learning about birth doesn't have to be boring--it's much more than breathing exercises! 

I know you may have fears, anxiety, and have TONS of questions.

I want you to feel informed AND excited for what lies ahead.

I use my unique training as a birth supporter, abundance of information and experience to help navigate our classes. New Earth Rising understands that each woman's birth story is unique, and I want you to feel completely confident as you navigate through your birth--whether at home or in the hospital. 

Both class options cover topics specific to pregnancy, labor & delivery, and after baby's arrival to leave you ready every step of the way. Some of the topics covered include: 

Hospital Birth

  • When to go to the hospital
  • What if I go past my due date?
  • Understanding the stages of labor
  • Cesarean birth (planned or not)
  • Should I get an epidural & Other Pain Management Techniques
  • Involving your partner- what’s their role?
  • Coping with labour and managing pain
  • Breathing, birth positions and pushing
  • What comes next?

 

Home Birth

  • When to call the midwife?
  • What if I go past my due date?
  • Delivery Supply Checklist
  • Creating YOUR birth space
  • Water birth
  • Understanding the Stages of labor 
  • Coping with labor & managing pain
  • Breathing, birth positions, pushing
  • Involving your partner-what's their role?
  • Transfer Options 

 

Connect with your partner in the comfort of your own home...

Our weekend classes are perfect for busy women and couples who want to enjoy their evenings at home--not in prenatal classes. Our classes are fun, engaging, informative, and centered around you--to give you ALL of the information you've wondered about.
