Childbirth Classes Like No Other Childbirth Class
Taking a Birthing From Within New England childbirth class provides you with not only the nuts and bolts of birth, but also equips you with tools to handle the intensity of birth. Moms and their partners participate in every step of the process. Lively discussion, practical techniques for pain coping, and actionable ideas of how labor support can help are the centerpieces of Birthing From Within. Participants are encouraged to investigate their worries about birth, will be provided with a process to deal with those worries, and emerge on the other side more confident in their ability to cope with this rite of passage. (Donna Moore, Farrah Deselle, Christine Fischer-Rothman)
Birth Story Listening

Postpartum Doula CareThe work of labor is just the beginning. Bringing a new baby home can sometimes be an overwhelming storm. A postpartum doula can help calm the waters by providing quiet guidance, a compassionate ear, and the kind of help that is actually helpful. Postpartum doulas offer breastfeeding advice, can show you how the breast pump works, do light cleaning, cooking and run errands. A postpartum doula Mothers the Mother while she is recovering from her labor. (Erin Hubbard, Christine Fischer-Rothman)

After a Birth Story Listening session:"Thank you. This was unexpected. ... I thought may be we would talk about the birth and may be I would feel better about the birth. But I certainly I did not think that I would be able to change today. I thought that I might change my memory, but I didn't think or it occurred to me that I could change the path of today, or tomorrow. I am surprised. Pleasantly surprised. " (Eliza M, Boston , mother of a 5 month old).
