Childborth Express

Childbirth Express

This accelerated, 3-hour class is designed for parents who want essential childbirth preparation in a shorter time-frame. It is ideal for those with busy schedules, as well as parents who have given birth before and would like a refresher. While relaxation and breathing techniques are introduced, practice time is limited. The class provides a condensed version of our full Childbirth Preparation course and covers:

  • Signs of labor

  • When to call your doctor

  • Options for pain management

  • What procedures and interventions are common during labor and birth

  • Role of your support person(s)

By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and prepared for your hospital experience, understanding your options and feel confident communicating your preferences. All classes are led by childbirth educators with extensive experience attending births at major NYC hospitals and birth centers.
