Countdown to baby: Asheville Childbirth Education

Picture
"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

​
Both veteran parents and parents-to-be enjoy our modern curriculum that complements your prenatal visits and promotes healthy dialogue and strong relationships with your chosen care providers and your partner. You'll gain greater confidence and a deeper understanding of the physiological and emotional aspects of labor as well as detailed information on interventions based on evidence, not fear. 

You will learn specific coping skills and strategies including mindfulness skills for working through contractions, balancing movement and rest throughout labor, and skills for communicating with your provider, nurses, partner and family members. Incorporating components of various childbirth teachings including the Bradley Method, Hypnobirthing, and Lamaze, our classes are uniquely tailored to giving birth in Asheville. 

In addition to the most up-to-date information, The Mothership childbirth education classes provide opportunities to connect with your pregnancy, your partner or chosen birth support person, and other pregnant women. When choosing an Asheville childbirth class you'll find that The Mothership has a class that meets your needs and if we don't we're happy to create one for you.
