Prenatal Classes
“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”
- Dr John H. Kennell
Just because you don't see it, it does not mean it does not exist. Worrying about something is usually more exhausting than actually doing it. If you want to feed a problem, keep thinking about it. If you want to starve a problem then we take action. Action kills anxiety that a lot of parents go through. We are here to educate and have you birthing like a boss. If you would like to mix and match with our add on classes we can do that, or maybe you would like some extra postpartum hours we got you, or you would just like classes and no other service. You know it, we got you!!
Classes
Birth Plans or do we mean Birth Wish list!!
60 minute virtual class
Many people don't think this is an important step but we cannot tell you how important this is. We are here to help you learn and work through who you are, what your wishes are and the reality of the birthing world. Visualization is at the top of the list, but do you know what? Things don't always go according to “plan” and it doesn't mean that you did anything wrong. Birth is unpredictable, but we must allow ourselves to understand the joy of it. There are four rules when it comes to your birth wishes:
Before labour
During labour
Postpartum
Returning home from hospital
Positions for labour
60 minute virtual or in person class depending on what geographical area
Knowing what to do during each stage of labour can be key to a little bit of a faster birth with less interventions like forceps or vacuums. In this class we teach both you and your partner what positions to use for easier transition during your baby's journey. We remind you how to breathe during the waves passing through your body, what you should be doing and what your partner should be doing.
Newborns behaviors & “routines”
60 minute virtual class
Just within the first week your newborn can be someone who seems to have multiple personalities and just when you think you have a “routine” they switch it up on you. We help you understand and learn tips and tricks to navigate this new little person in your life.
Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, cup feeding and spoon feeding
60 minute virtual or in person class depending on what geographical area
Just when we think we are home and dry and you've passed the birthing stage, you get home and your baby won't latch? This is very common and a little help/ knowledge can go a long way. In this class we chat about the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding, learning how to breastfeed with regards to positions/ latching and frequency, pumping and milk storage as well as supplementing if need be.
