This six hour, one day childbirth class will give you evidence-based information about giving birth. You will learn about the stages of labor, what’s happening with your body and baby during labor and birth, things you can do prior to labor to help prepare your mind and body, and you will go through a practice labor rehearsal so you are aware of different scenarios in birth. You will receive an email shortly after class with further resources and a list of each of the practice labor scenarios to help you continue to practice as you wish. We will discuss topics from doulas to cesareans (just in case!) to how to prepare for your postpartum time. You will learn how to evaluate information about procedures/interventions you may be offered and will be shown comfort techniques as alternatives to pain medication (as well as being given information on standard pain medications offered in the hospital). Regardless of where you plan to deliver (home, hospital, or birth center) you will be prepared to make informed decisions for you and your family!
Prepare for your best birth experience. Get the most out of your childbirth preparation with up to date information on all things birth and invaluable hands on practice!
In addition to increased emotional security regarding birth, Intuitive Birth students are 68% less likely to have a cesarean than the average mother. 70% of Intuitive Birth students who give birth vaginally do so with no pain medication.
Below is the content for our Intuitive Birth classes:
Reframing Your Birth Concepts Learn about the many things you can do during pregnancy to positively affect your birth experience. Begin to examine your beliefs about labor and birth, setting yourself on the path towards a comfortable, fearless birth.
Your Birth Begins Physiology of the first stage of labor, including what your body and baby are doing during this time, how fear impacts labor, and how to stay comfortable without medications.
The Journey Continues: Active Labor & Transition A wide variety of comfort measures for the most challenging part of labor, including positioning, massage, relaxation, and more.
Second Stage & Birth There are many ways to give birth to your baby. Learn about positions, comfort, and why the first hours after your baby’s birth are so important. Begin to practice these with our first in-class labor rehearsal.
Off the Beaten Path Learn how to make your birth experience a positive one, no matter what path your labor takes. Explore potential complications (including how to differentiate between complications and variations of normal) and learn about cesarean sections, including how best to avoid having one.
Creating Your Birth Learn how to evaluate the nearly endless options that are available to you during your labor and birth, and the merits of “birth planning.” Determine your own top priorities for your birth, and how to translate those into an effective birth plan.
Putting it All Together Put into practice the many techniques you’ve learned so far with a second in-class labor rehearsal, as well as a review of the stages of labor and an in-depth discussion of comfort measures.
Postpartum & Your New Family
How will you feel and what will you need postpartum? How do babies sleep? Why do babies cry? What is breastfeeding like? These questions and more will be answered.
“I signed up for Becca’s Little Moon Rising Preparing For Your Birth class when I was 27 weeks pregnant. At the time this was the only class that I could find in person. Due to Covid most classes were virtual or pre recorded and I really wanted an in person class so I could ask questions and focus on all the information. Becca was very accommodating and followed Covid precautions while still being able to have an in person class. During the class Becca went through every aspect of what to expect during labor and birth. She went over so many tips for pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She also talked about how to make the best decisions for YOU during labor and delivery. She was very helpful at explaining ALL the options and situations that may arise. After her class I truly understood the importance of and how to recognize each phase of labor. I also felt a lot more knowledgeable about what to include in my birth plan. I would highly recommend taking this course with you and whoever else will be present during your delivery. I was able to have a natural birth in the hospital with my husband as my birth partner. We felt fully prepared and were able to feel confident answering all questions that nurses/doctors asked. Because of this I was able to have the wonderful birthday experience that I wanted. Without this class I truly do not believe that would have been possible or that we would have felt as comfortable. I want to thank Becca for offering such a great class and I highly recommend taking it especially for first time moms!” - Morgan V.
