From Our Partner: 4-Week Prenatal Class Series By FiftySeven

08/05/2013

This 4-week prenatal class series from FiftySeven prepares you for labour, delivery, postpartum recovery and life with a newborn. Taught by registered midwife Carolyn Sinclair, the class is based on the belief that pregnancy is a normal part of life, and that with the right support and information, women can become active participants in their own care – and make informed decisions that are right for their family.

They cover everything that traditional hospital-based programs offer, plus much more. Classes are small, so parents get lots of time for hands-on learning to give them the skills and confidence they need.

Topics include:

• The 3^rd trimester
• Preparing for birth
• Stages of labour and delivery
• Pain and coping in labour (relaxation techniques, breathing, positions and support measures)
• Role of the support person
• Informed choice
• Change of birth plans
• Medical interventions
• Possible emergencies
• Postpartum care for mom and adjusting to parenting
• Baby care
• Breastfeeding & more

Prenatal class series fee $275+HST. Cost includes one FiftySeven Prenatal Class manual per couple, healthy snacks and access to quality equipment including yoga mats, pillows, exercise balls, massage tools, and educational videos.  The next class is scheduled for Tuesdays 6:30-8:30pm, Nov 12 – Dec 3rd.

Please Note: When choosing your course dates we recommend you start the series around 31-33 weeks of pregnancy so that you complete the series by the time you are term (37 weeks). This way you are prepared in time, but are also able to retain all the important information you have learned.

Mention Mommy Connections and you’ll save 10% off the course fees!
