We encourage everyone to join us to Meet the Midwife and tour the birth center. This is a FREE event where you can ask questions, tour the birth center, and of course, meet us! Held the first Saturday of each month. Teams include one expectant mom and her support person(s). Only 1 ticket is needed per team.
Midwifery care is very different from mainstream OB care and we want you to get a head start learning all the things to keep your pregnancy low risk. You'll learn about nourishing yourself well and bodywork that will help ease pregnancy discomforts and possibly shorten labor. You'll learn about what staff will be in your birth, how to "pick" a midwife, what happens in an emergency and tips to make your time at the birth center smoother. Mandatory for all clients. Best time to take: early pregnancy, before your first appointment. No cost, for clients only.
Our Birth 101 class teaches the physiology of birth for mom & baby, stages of labor, how to support mom, and techniques for comfort measures. All of this info is needed for birth. It doesn't matter if you choose to birth at our birth center, at home, or at the hospital. All women must cope with discomfort at some point during labor, so this class is for anyone, whether they opt for an epidural or not. Birth 101 is offered every other month starting in Jan 2018, the first Saturday of each month from 1-4pm. Price is $50 per team. Teams include one expectant mom and her support person(s). Please make childcare arrangements. Only 1 ticket is needed per team.
