Private Prenatal Class

In-Home or Virtual

Are you busy working as well as trying to prepare for your new baby’s arrival? Maybe you have what feels like a million questions, or a unique pregnancy circumstance and would like a class specifically tailored to you.

I have worked in the hospital for over 7 years, and there is so much information that I wish my patients knew *before* they arrived. I think one of the biggest things that causes stress and anxiety in my patients is not knowing what to expect and not fully understanding the laboring process. 

A little knowledge goes a long way, and I guarantee you will head into your birthing process feeling much more confident and ready after taking a prenatal class.

During your session you will learn: signs of labor・pain management strategies・tips for partners・packing list・when to go to your birth facility・inductions・breaking your water・pitocin ・labor positions・pain control options once you are in the hospital ・pushing techniques・vaginal birth・cesarean birth・postpartum care・newborn care, and so much more.

This typically runs 4 hours long and includes email support from me until your delivery.

For flexibility this class can be divided into 2 or 4 shorter sessions to better fit your needs (please request the amount of sessions in the “notes” section on the checkout page).

Avoid Dr. Google and get all your questions answered from a Registered Nurse!

C-Section Preparedness Class

Has your midwife or doctor recommended a cesarean section for you due to certain factors in your pregnancy? If so, I’m sure you have a million questions and possibly some fears as well. Having a c-section can sound scary, but it doesn’t have to be! This 60-minute class will ease your anxieties by educating you on all the details of what to expect from your arrival to the hospital, preparing for the OR, delivering your baby, and your recovery period.
