Pregnancy & Childbirth
Labor of Love
This class is recommended for couples wanting to learn how to apply Lamaze techniques for coping with pain in labor and birth who plan to deliver without anesthesia. During the eight hours of this two day class series, you and your labor partner practice using Lamaze breathing and relaxation techniques and the comfort measures and techniques for your support persons that were discussed in part two of the Special Delivery class. If you have previously experienced a Lamaze birth, this class would be good to refresh your memory.
Plan to take this class during the last eight to ten weeks of pregnancy and after attending the Special Delivery Class. The fee is per couple.
Please call 225-231-5475 to register for this class.
