Comfort Measures class is perfect for couples who have given birth before and want a refresher or couples who have already attended Understanding Birth class and want a deeper understanding with more practice of natural coping methods. This class is created around Penny Simkin's Comfort Measures DVD and book The Birth Partner. It will be interactive for both mom and support people. This class does not include information about medical intervention or the process of labor itself, that is covered in the Understand Birth class.  This class focuses on natural coping methods. Attending Understanding Birth Class first is suggested.

Topics include: breathing, relaxation, visualization, guided imagery, massage, counter pressure, positions for labor and pushing.

Support people do need to attend with mom. 1-2 per mom is welcome. For couples who also attended the Understanding Birth class, this class is available at no additional charge. Please attend class to get the code or contact the instructor, Angela, directly. 405-313-1832
