​
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...
​
Why be corralled into a room with people you don’t know, over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, with someone who always talks out of turn and won’t let you ask a question? Wouldn’t it be easier for you to grab a spot on your own sofa, book at your convenience, and learn at your own pace?
​
WHAT NOW?
​
These prenatal classes are geared for one-to-one interaction and account for your learning style. Don’t want to watch movies, you don’t have to! Want personal hands-on instruction in comfort techniques instead of sitting on the floor doing breathing exercises? Done.
​
Loree's classes are split into four easy-to-understand sessions. The first class reviews the physical and emotional changes in pregnancy, preparing for labour, and knowing when it has begun. She'll help you understand the stages and phases of the process, what happens to your body during birth, and how to build confidence in preparation for labour.
​
The second class reviews all the medical interventions that could be necessary during your birth experience. She'll cover all the options for pain management, induction of labour, instrument delivery, caesarean birth, and other common childbirth interventions. She'll also help you discover non-medical alternatives. This helps you to drive conversations with your care provider to ensure you have the unique birth experience you deserve.
​
The third class explores the different coping methods, positions, and relaxation techniques that are useful for both the labouring mother and their partners. She'll assist you in understanding how your body and your baby work together in labour.
​
The fourth class covers the immediate postpartum period in the hospital, postpartum recovery at home, postpartum mood disorders, newborn care questions and concerns, and everything you ever wanted to know about breastfeeding. It’s a fast-paced class, but by the end, you’ll be ready for anything!
