Prepared Childbirth Classes in Kodiak
(View our class schedule)Since 2009, over 70 women and their partners participated in the Prepared Childbirth Classes. At A Balanced Approach, it is our goal to provide information to couples in a fun, informative way and to help them navigate through the journey of labor birth.
Find out what couples are saying about this birthing series...
"Knowledge is power. Knowing options available and discussing all aspects of the birthing process will help with labor."
"We covered such a wide range of topics - I feel like I'm taking away more than expected"
"From a birth partner's perspective, each class was very informative and an effective use of time."
"We didn't know much, but now feel that we can get through labor and have good techniques to help us."
"This class will help me, help my wife, during labor. I would be much more overwhelmed at the hospital otherwise."
"We are much more informed and prepared! Thank you sooo much!"
"I'm feeling very confident with my decision to go natural and drug free if at all possible. Before the class, I thought it was what I wanted to do, but was worried about the pain. Now I'm sure it's what I want and I'm fairly confident I'll be able to manage the pain."
"I feel better prepared, have a plan of how to use different strategies, and how to self-advocate."
"I feel more confident, relaxed and prepared to deal with the emotional and physical intensity of labor."
Classes are evidence based in nature and full of interactive information and material. Class structure includes group discussions, minimal lecture, videos and relaxation practice.
Classes are ongoing, so please call if you want to begin in the middle of a series. You can always come to the sessions you missed in the next series.
Cost is either $125 for the entire series OR $20 dollars per class. We accept cash, check or money order at this time. Please note, no one will be turned away for inability to pay. Please talk to us if you would like to join our class but need financial assistance to do so.
For the second time moms, we encourage you to attend as many classes as you wish, or are able to. We believe all of them will hold discussion and information which will be novel and valuable to you as you prepare for your next labor and birth experience!
We encourage you to bring a birth partner with you-this can be your husband, or a treasured female friend, or someone who you have admired with her soothing ways---if you want to bring more than one person, that is fine too! Everyone who is in support of helping moms in labor & birth are welcome!
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Thank you,
Zoya and Julie
