CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION, TAUGHT BY A LAMAZE CERTIFIED CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR
Lamaze Childbirth Class
Lamaze classes are built around the Six Healthy Birth Practices, an evidence-based framework that helps you make confident, informed decisions through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. Every pregnancy is different, and Lamaze doesn't hand you a script. It gives you the research and the skills to advocate for the birth that's right for you.
“An informed pregnancy is an empowered pregnancy.”Lamaze International
The Six Healthy Birth Practices
- Let labor begin on its own
- Walk, move around, and change positions throughout labor
- Bring a loved one, friend, or doula for continuous support
- Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary
- Avoid giving birth on your back, and follow your body's urges to push
- Keep mother and baby together, it's best for mother, baby, and breastfeeding

Confidence, not a script
