Childbirth Class: Comfort Techniques
Designed as a complement to our regular childbirth class, the Comfort Techniques Class will take you deeper into coping for your birth and beyond. Whether you’re planning for a non-medicated birth, are considering your options, or are sure you’d like an epidural, this class will allow you to approach your birth with more confidence and less anxiety. Both pregnant women and their partners will learn practical strategies for dealing with both the physical and emotional components of birth. Plus the tools will apply to parenthood and life after birth!

Had a private session for c-section prep with the wonderful Meghan recently. She was very knowledgeable about the whole process and in touch with what was happening in local hospitals. She answered all of our questions about hospital stay, tips on breastfeeding, swaddling and diaper changing and more. My husband and I felt more at ease and prepared after meeting with Meghan and we would highly recommend Birth Day Presence!
