Changes that occur during late pregnancy and the stages of labor.
The important role that pain plays during labor and a variety of both non-medical and medical strategies for managing it.
How your partner can be an important source of support through your labor and birth
Classes are instructed by a Registered Nurse and are overseen by a Lamaze Certified Child Birth Educator (LCCE).
Lamaze books are available to purchase for $5.00.
