Childbirth Class Details
You can do this! You are going to give birth to a beautiful baby and become a mother (perhaps for second or third time). I am here to tell you that it is possible to be prepared, confident, and eager for the big day. You are a "super mom" and you will do great. By taking the Better Beginnings childbirth course, you will have the knowledge and tools to not only cope beautifully with labor, but make great decisions along the way. Your partner will understand your goals and know how to support you as you do the work of labor.
What's the course like?
This course is designed for you - whether this is your first baby, your fifth baby, your second hospital birth, or your first home birth. We make the most of your valuable time with engaging and up to date material to be sure you are best prepared.
The real difference between this course and any other way to prepare for birth is the value placed on RELATIONSHIPS - your relationship with me, with other families, and with your partner.
In class you get to know me and I will be part of your birth and parenting team - here for any questions or challenges that come up along the way. Throughout class, you will get to know the other couples. You will learn from them and quite possibly find a life long friend. By making the time for a "date night" childbirth class, you are your partner make time to learn together and focus on the exciting adventure ahead.
Who teaches the course?
The course is taught by Katie Crozat. Current resident of Ocean Springs, mother of two with a passion for inspiring you with evidenced based information so that you can make informed decisions that feel right to you and your family.
