Fear of the unknown is the number one concern of women in labor. Fear causes the production and release of stress hormones, which can work against the hormones that help move labor forward. By increasing your understanding of the process of labor, you will learn many coping skills, be less fearful and will be better prepared for the experience. Labor partners and fathers will learn how important they are in making this a positive birth experience, what to expect during labor and birth and how they can help the laboring woman to stay as comfortable as possible.

This six-week series is offered on week nights at a cost of $55 per couple. Registration for the series includes free registration for the Infant Care classes, which requires separate enrollment. Your series should end no later than two to three weeks before your due date. Enrollment is limited. Please enroll early to ensure your enrollment in the class most convenient for you.
