I will be posting birth-related news there! Welcome to Hope Birth Resources. We offer classes on natural childbirth preparation. Our birth preparation series consists of twelve classes held once a week for 12 weeks. Each class is a little over 2 hours long, giving you an opportunity to really dig in, ask questions, and learn about this most amazing and beautiful process.

The classes are very thorough, covering topics such as:Exercise Good nutritionChoosing a birth team Relaxation and other comfort measures for labor How to assist a woman in laborBreastfeeding and newborn careWriting a birth planC-sections and unexpected situations The goal is to help you be informed and relaxed and able to have a healthy, natural birth.
