VBAC  PREPARATION  CLASS

 
     This one-day class is intended for parents who are planning a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and would like special attention paid to their needs.  This class will focus on creating a positive mindset for birthing normally, review what you would like to do differently and/or the same from your past birth experience(s), build on your coping skills, discuss how to involve and prepare older siblings for the birth and the new baby,  and connect with other parents who are sharing a similar experience.  You will identify what worked and what didn't in your past birth(s), and spend a day focusing on this pregnancy.  The class is 8-hours and allows time for parents to connect to this pregnancy, this baby, and each other.
