Countdown to baby: Asheville Childbirth Education
"The birthing class helped me go from feeling like labor & delivery was something that was going to happen TO me, to something that I had some control over and could be beautiful.... We remembered and used the tools you taught us and different positions for him to support and help me, including having him breathing with me. All those things helped Josh feel involved and helpful and I totally felt supported." -Toni |
