About this Event

Our Childbirth Prep class is led by a certified childbirth educator and is designed to prepare you (as much as possible) to give birth to your baby. Our goal is for you to leave the class feeling informed, empowered and confident in your ability to give birth! By providing up-to-date information about labor and delivery, we hope to equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions before and during labor.

Class Length: Two sessions, 4 hours each
