Early Pregnancy Classes
These classes are designed to help you maintain a healthy pregnancy both physically and mentally. Topics covered are: Nutrition & Exercise, Understanding & Enjoying Pregnancy, Routine Hospital Procedures, Developing and Maintaining Positive Relationships with your birth attendant and as a couple.
Labor and Birth Classes
These classes are designed to prepare mom and her partner if available to manage labor contractions. Even if you are planning to have an epidural, you will still have contractions and discomforts to deal with. It takes time to be permitted to receive an epidural and the anesthesiologist needs a reasonable amount of time to arrive, time must be permitted for the epidural to go into effect once inserted. Also many physicians want epidurals to wear off to allow for more efficient pushing. These classes will help prepare you for that. Many more women today are choosing to have a natural birth. If you are planning a natural birth, all of the Noella Childbirth Preparation™ classes will more than prepare you for a natural delivery. Topics covered in the childbirth classes: 1st Stage Labor, 2nd Stage Labor, Flexibility and Planning for Birth, Postpartum Issues, 1st & 2nd Stage Review, Labor Rehearsal & Introduction to Breastfeeding.
