This two-part hybrid class is designed to demystify the experience of labor and postpartum to help you feel more ready. You will learn what to expect upon arrival in the hospital, get tips on what to bring with you, and learn about the common things that happen throughout labor. Additionally, we will explore the experience of staying in the hospital after your baby is born: the type of support you will receive and what needs to happen before discharging home.
Part one of this class covers the details that help you prepare for your baby’s birth and your hospital stay. Part two of this class is held online so you can join remotely and get your questions answered.
Topics include:
-What happens during a “labor check”
-What to expect during labor: contractions, medications, pain control, and pushing
-Expected timelines, from inductions to how long you’ll stay postpartum
-What you’ll learn and experience during your postpartum stay
Registration includes one support person
