This class is your complete field guide for unmedicated hospital birth--a specialty I've developed as a doula over the past five years. It was my own unmedicated hospital birth that drew me to become a doula! In this class, I don't teach a specific method, but instead share with you the many tools that have made a huge difference in my clients' births. I also offer helpful information for caring for yourself and your baby during pregnancy and after birth. We'll explore:

• Finding evidence-based information and using it to make informed decisions during pregnancy and in labor
• Communicating as a couple and with your birth team
• Writing a birth plan
• What to expect during early labor, active labor, transition, pushing, and early postpartum
• How to overcome the fear-tension-pain cycle and give birth confidently
• Comfort measures for labor (non-drug pain relief options)
• Physical self-care that gives your baby space to find the best position
• Breastfeeding
• Newborn care
• Building a community of support as you transition into early parenthood
• And more!

This class is a 5-week series of engaging and interactive 3-hour sessions.
