CLASS 1

Defining The Mission: Why Natural Birth

Birth Boot Camp is about natural, unmedicated birth. Learn why natural birth is best for baby, best for mom, and even best for dad. You’ll discover how the history of childbirth in America has set us on this course of medicated and surgical birth. Take part in an in-depth discussion on how drugs interfere with the natural process. You’ll walk away from the first class with a clear vision of your mission and its importance.

CLASS 2

P.T. & Chow: Physical Training & Nutrition For Your Birth

Preparing your body – both inside and out – for the challenge of labor is exciting. Learn from a personal trainer how to properly tone the muscles you’ll need to birth your baby. Proper nutrition will help to have a healthy baby and pregnancy. Following our nutritional program, you will have a solid foundation in remaining healthy, strong, and low-risk. In addition, part of your Physical Training is the preparation of the mind, body, and spirit through relaxation practice in each class. Each partner will learn helpful hints about the process of practicing relaxation at home. Taking P.T. & Chow seriously will pay off in the natural birth of your baby.
