Bradley Method Natural Childbirth Classes with Judith Nowlin
Tuesday evenings, 7:00-9:15 pm
12 week series
July 10th-Sept 25th, 2012
This twelve-week series of classes focuses on the pregnancy and birth process as a state of wellness: centered on the knowledge that all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum are delicately interwoven. The ultimate goal of the class is optimal health and wellness for both mother and baby. These classes are ideal for women birthing in a hospital, birth center or at home.
Judith Nowlin is a certified Bradley Method childbirth educator and DONA certified doula.
Each and every week of class includes:
- relaxation techniques
- prenatal nutrition
- hands-on practice for the partner
- community building amongst the families
Throughout the 12 weeks we will cover nearly all topics related to pregnancy and birth, including:
- staying healthy and low-risk
- benefits of exercise during pregnancy
- specific pregnancy exercises
- pregnancy anatomy
- birthing myths vs. birthing secrets
- releasing fears
- stages of labor
- effective positions for labor
- working with your body
- creating a serene environment in labor
- positive communications with your birth team
- working with a doula
- choosing your birth team and birth place
- normal variations in labor
- interventions and their alternatives
- handling unexpected situations (such as cesarean birth)
- breastfeeding successfully
- common newborn procedures
- making the most out of your postpartum experience
- and a whole lot more
Once everyone has had their babies, we have a reunion party to celebrate and meet all the little ones. One of the greatest joys of the class is watching the moms-groups and playgroups that develop out of the relationships built during our twelve weeks together!
