Birthing Options'
 Monthly Childbirth Classes
 
CLASSES are on THURSDAYS AT 1PM
 
April 1 / Chilbirth Class 1 - Pregnancy, Exercise, Nutrition, & Relaxation
May 6 /  Chilbirth Class 2 - Birth Plans and Labor
June 3 / Childbirth Class 3 - Mother's Only Class
 
CLASSES 5 & 6 ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL CLIENTS.
Class #3 is Mothers only.
These meetings are informal. And though they are assigned a class number and topic; we move through the information at the pace that best suits the needs of those expectant parents attending them. So we may cover more information and move into the next topic or may even have to continue that month's topic the next month for completion. My desire is to meet the needs of the parents.
 
CLIENTS MUST R.S.V.P. I might be at a birth and I will notify clients personally if they have R.S.V.P.'d.
Clients are invited to bring a dish to share at snack time.
