Lamaze Childbirth Classes This is not your mother's Lamaze Class. We explore how your body works and how you can work with it to enhance your birth experience. In this 4-week course, you will also get hands-on practice with relaxation techniques and comfort measures for easing the discomforts of pregnancy and labor. Find out more about options you have available to you at your birth place, whether it be hospital or home. Learn about normal variations in birth and how to handle them. Pain Management techniques, both natural and medical are discussed. Interventions, including epidural, are explained, along with ways to avoid them or decide if they are medically needed for you, and how to ask questions to make informed decisions. We keep our classes small, so you have plenty of opportunities to get your questions answered! $100 class fee includes workbook and supplemental materials. Classes begin monthly. Please check our on-line calendar or call for dates. Private classes can also be scheduled. Tammy Bayer is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator.
