Childbirth Classes

This class is for smart moms and supportive partners, looking to know their options and birth their babes in sovereignty and power! 

• Are you interested in natural, physiological birth but don't know where to start?
• Are you hoping to birth in the hospital without medical intervention?
• Or maybe you don't know what kind of birth you're planning, hospital or home, and want to learn what your options are?

The SMB Childbirth Education Class is for you!

Our class has two main objectives: values clarification and developing body literacy. We cover in detail the amazing physiology of pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum with the intention of helping mamas clarify what is important to them, and subsequently organize around bringing those values to fruition.

Our curriculum will cover the anatomy of pregnancy and birth, pregnancy health and comfort measures, interactive guides to create your own prenatal care, and individualized support in imagining and planning your ideal birth. We will also cover common hospital birth interventions and cesarean sections, through the lens of avoiding all unnecessary interventions.

This class is designed for people who are planning a homebirth, or those looking to avoid or delay the use of medication while birthing in the hospital environment. This class will help you understand your body, your baby, and the options available to you both. (If you have been labeled 'high-risk', we welcome you! Mom's are encouraged to investigate their own definitions of risk and safety in relation to their birth.)
