Birth Preparation Classes


There are many different childbirth education class styles to choose from. There are a number of aspects to consider when selecting a class that best suits you. Think of your personality, your labor and delivery goals, and the amount of time you have to commit to preparation classes.

Benefits of taking a may class include:

· Greater confidence in the process of birth and in your ability to make good birth choices

· Learn relaxation and coping techniques

· Tips for breastfeeding and new baby care

· Techniques for partners to offer support and comfort

· Assistance in creating a birth plan

· Personal attention to your birth anxieties

· Learning from the questions/comments/discussions of other people in the class

· Camaraderie with other couples experiencing pregnancy at the same time as you

My love of the birth process developed naturally, through the wonderful, all natural births of my daughters, one at the hospital and one at home. My loving husband Mike and sweet doula Rebecca inspired and helped me relax and work with my labor. As a result, I had remarkably short, easy and joyful labors. My training with Bradley Method in 2001 and learning from each and every Bellabirthing couple's birth since 2002 has enriched my knowledge of and compassion for the unique experience of birth.

Currently I teach 4 and 8 week natural birth preparation classes. My classes are small with a lot of personal attention. I love that some of my best girlfriends are former students. My classes focus on the normalcy of birth and instill a confidence in the natural process, whether couples birth at home with midwives or in the hospital with doctors. In addition, I offer my services as a doula. I love the adrenalin rush that comes from helping a mom birth just the way she wants and the complete joy of seeing a baby be born into the world. I feel tremendously blessed to have found a way to make a positive difference in the world and can't imagine a better job.

I've lived in the Gallatin Valley for 15 years and my heart is definitely in this place. I grew up in Lewistown where my dad is a horse trainer and my mom is a retired medical office manager. I have a fabulous husband, Mike, and two beautiful daughters, Katalyn and Isabella, and a very loyal Kelpie dog, Bear cub. I graduated from MSU with a Master's in History in 2000. These days teaching birthing, doula work and home schooling my girls keep me very busy. I can be reached at 388.0707. www.bellabirthing.com

As a mother of three, Lamaze-certified childbirth educator (LCCE), certified Physician's Assistant (PA-C) and American Red Cross First Aid/CPR instructor, I use my practical experience and formal educational training to design classes for young families that are practical, informational and approachable. I employ a moderate approach to her teaching with the goal of telling "all sides of the story" about pregnancy, labor and delivery and the postpartum period. I want to help young parents and their families experience a whole new sense of excitement and anticipation as they approach life with a baby. Childbirth preparation classes do not have to consist of two-hour lecture sessions during which couples are force-fed information that is overwhelming to begin with. My goal is for Pregnancy to Parenthood to revolutionize the field of childbirth education by providing fun, interactive classes that my clients look forward to attending. I hope to continue to support these women and men during their journey through pregnancy and beyond with classes that prepare them for all aspects of this new chapter in life called parenthood. www.pregnancytoparenthood.org
