These group sessions are taught in various lengths depending on how much you want to learn and to offer you options around topics, length, location and your budget. We recommend that you begin early in your third trimester to be completed no later than 2-3 weeks before your due date (though you are welcome to take it at any time you wish).

In the old days – you know, before cell phones and the Internet (gasp!) – people learned about childbirth through watching and taking part in the births of family members. Now that the majority of people are birthing their babies at hospitals, we have lost the knowledge and confidence in our own abilities to birth our babies. It’s the sad truth. I can picture 100 years ago Dorothy saying “if Ruth can do this so can I!” Childbirth classes help to bring that knowledge and confidence back to expecting people and their support persons. And no, watching “A Baby Story” doesn’t count! In fact, media has done us WAY more harm than good. It is NOT a good tool for birth preparation.
Prenatal Classes, Birthing Classes, Lamaze® Classes, – what is the difference and which should I take?? It’s kind of like asking “what car should I buy”. It depends! Selecting the right childbirth education class can help give you the information you need to have a healthy and fulfilling childbirth experience. The challenge comes with knowing which childbirth education class to choose.
Here are a few things that we (and Lamaze® International – a leader in childbirth education) recommend that you look for when choosing your childbirth educator:
Certification conveys that the educator has the knowledge and skills that help people give birth with confidence and joy! The educator also guides families through the maze of modern obstetrics so that they are able to make truly informed decisions about their health care. A certified educator is a skilled teacher, a knowledgeable professional and a passionate advocate for women and their families. ALL Discover Birth educators are certified.
A curriculum that supports birth as normal, natural and healthy, and empowers people to make informed decisions. Look for someone who helps you make your own decisions, not someone who ‘tells’ you their opinions.
Class content should include information about labour, birth and early postpartum; positioning for labour and birth; relaxation and massage techniques to ease pain; labour support; communication skills; information about medical procedures; breastfeeding; and healthy lifestyles.
This is a big one!! Lots of people may choose a class based on price. Things to consider are “How much instruction am I getting for this reduced price?” and “Will I have to pay parking in addition to the course fee?”. Some courses cost less but you get a condensed course that allows little time for discussion.
Research tells us that childbirth educations helps to:
Topics covered may include (check what you’re registering for to be sure!):
Reality: The goal of Lamaze® classes is to increase people’s confidence in their ability to give birth. Lamaze® classes help people discover the inner wisdom they already have for giving birth. You will learn simple coping strategies for labour, including focused breathing. But breathing techniques are just one of many things that Lamaze® classes will help you uncover!
Reality: Many people are afraid of the pain of labour, and that’s normal! Lamaze® classes help people understand the origin of pain and learn how to respond to pain in ways that both facilitate labour and increase comfort. We’ll discuss many ways to decrease the pain you’ll experience in labour.
Reality: Childbirth education prenatal classes provide information about natural pain relief options as well as epidural anesthesia (and other medications). Eliminating pain completely is pretty much impossible – regardless of your plans for use of medication! Prenatal education will assist pregnant people and their partners in making personal decisions that are right for them.
Reality: Women have always prepared for the birth of their babies. Until recent times, women learned about birth from their own mothers and sisters. Birth took place at home with family rituals and traditions to help them feel confident in their ability to give birth. Women were surrounded by family and wise women who provided comfort and encouragement through labour and in the days and weeks after birth. Today, childbirth classes provide the knowledge, skills, and support that help people give birth with confidence and joy as they have done for centuries. Preparation is for everyone! .
