Labor Rehearsal Class

Instructors: Midwife Assistants

Labor Rehearsal is an active, hands-on childbirth preparation course. Our Midwife Assistants will teach you how to cope in labor-positioning, breathing techniques and moving into your hind brain. They will show your partner how and where to massage and apply counter pressure. They will give examples of helpful “coach” language and explain how to recognize the beginning of a contraction. At the end of the class, you will practice these techniques while experiencing an uncomfortable stimulus every 3 minutes for a minute, just like active labor. This 2-hour class is for you whether it’s your first or your 4th pregnancy. Cost: $100 per couple.
