Preparing for Childbirth Without Medication
Class Overview:
This 3 ½-hour class is designed specifically for women and their labor support partners who are interested in additional preparation for unmedicated childbirth. The focus of the session will be on alternative pain-coping techniques such as breathing, position changing, relaxation, massage and visualization. The class will also address issues such as birth plans and advocacy.
Participants in the class should already have taken or concurrently be taking a regular childbirth preparation series.
The instructor, Perryn Rowland, has been a childbirth educator and doula for 15 years and has attended over 250 births. She has three sons, all born without medication.
