Classes taught by Kelly Martin at Treasured Birth
- Your partner will enjoy the class too! In fact, your partner will get just as much out of going to class as you (maybe more!)
- You will meet other people that may become good friends and allies in your parenting journey!
- What you learn will impact your birth experience, no matter what the outcome!
- There are so many choices you have in birth! The information you get in class is based on best evidence, not just the most common policies!
We pride ourselves on teaching evidence based practices! Treasured Birth educators work alongside the medical community, not against it! Treasured Birth teachers will not tell you HOW to do birth, but provide the information you need to make your OWN choices with confidence (this is your baby, and your birth!)
Treasured Birth’s classes are NOT just for those who want to give birth without pain medication! But they can be if that is your focus! The beauty of these classes is that they will be focused on what you want, and what you need to have from your own personal pregnancy, labor and birth experience!
When Should I sign up for Classes? Generally, the best time to begin your childbirth class is between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. This means signing up for classes a month or more beforehand to ensure your class doesn’t fill up; that means registering for class when you are 20 to 24 weeks into your pregnancy.
Childbirth classes are an important step along your path to parenthood. Don’t let the opportunity to fully prepare for your birth slip by. Visit the tabs on our website pages to read more about classes currently being offered, and to schedule your Childbirth Class!
As Anne Frye says:
“Midwifery is grounded in the perspective that most women, given physical and psychological support by a trained midwife and accompanied by loved ones, will give birth safely with few, if any, interventions. Midwives screen their patients carefully, watch for complications, and rely on obstetricians in cases requiring intervention. But they spend much of their time educating patients and tend to see their role as collaborative rather than authoritative. Midwives are guardians of the normal.”
