In a [M]otherboard Birth childbirth education class, most things that are covered will be
experienced by every birthing person. Most parents will be coping, moving, and practicing informed choice no matter what their plans are for medical intervention or pain
management.
This class is for families birthing in all locations with all providers, such as but not limited to: the hospital, a birth center, a home, or anywhere else with a midwife, OBGYN, MD/DO, etc.
Classes are from 3:00PM to 8:00PM, with a break for dinner on your own from 5:00PM to 6:00 PM. We will explore topics related to childbirth to give you and your partner/support person a wider knowledge of the situations you may encounter during birth so that you can make informed decisions about your care. Each registration includes one 24-page full-color spiral workbook to take home.
