In this class, your partner will learn the in's and out's of labor support taught by a trained and experienced doula!
We all want our partners to be there 100% for us and they want to be there too, but they might not know the skills and things to say to you during your labor.
The "Labor Preparation for Partners" class is more extensive than the techniques you learn in your childbirth education class and designed as an addition to your childbirth education class. This class will help teach your partner how to help you; with you both looking back on your birth with loving memories of the bond you shared.
