Comfort Measures for an Easier Labor

Comfort Measurer for an Easier Labor is great practice for the real "work" of labor and should be included in each family's plans for childbirth preparation.  This class will provide tools to help  make labor easier to work through. It's a mindful approach to preparing for labor. Whether you are aiming for an unmedicated birth or expect to have an epidural, learning numerous tools will give you options as you navigate the challenges of labor.

What you will learn

Comfort measures covered, in the context of keeping your labor moving efficiently:
  • Useful movements/ positions
  • Massage
  • Vocalization
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Visualization
  • Use of birth ball
  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Breathing techniques
  • And More!
Please come dressed comfortably and ready to move! This is an active class!

​It is highly recommended that couples take a childbirth prep class prior to taking Comfort Measures as the class does not cover theoretical topics such as stages of labor or typical hospital protocols. Couples who are expecting their second or subsequent child may find this a useful class, especially if they are unable to attend our Childbirth Prep Refresher class.
​
Please note: due to the intimate nature of childbirth classes, children are not permitted to attend.
