Couples, Support Person & Infant Care
Support person preparation is one of the things Mindful Midwifery is most passionate about! Learning how to support your loved one through this life transition is priceless. Studies suggest that men have a lot of anxiety heading into labor and delivery with their partners. While studies have not adequately explored other support persons’ and their experiences with childbirth, it is likely the same, regardless of gender or relationship-supporting a pregnant person is a tough job! Whether you chose a couples class, infant care class or a support person preparation class you will feel confident in your ability to support your loved one through this major life transition. These classes are inclusive of all definitions of “support person” and “couple.”
Please note: The couples class is priced inclusive of two people. The infant care class and support person class are per person pricing. Attendance at the infant care class for a couple requires two spots.
$50.00 – $295.00
Couples Preparation Bundle
You asked, I listened! This class is meant for couples wanting combined preparation for childbirth and postpartum. The first session will cover stages of labor and birthing techniques. The second session will cover postpartum specifics and birth goals. Most childbirth classes focus entirely on labor and delivery leaving the couple unprepared for the postpartum recovery. This class will prepare you as a couple to navigate labor, delivery and postpartum confidently. Featuring over 3 hours of face-to-face time with a midwife who has done around 1000 births and spent 15 years helping women in the postpartum time frame! These classes are inclusive of all definitions of “support person” and “couple.”
Labor, Delivery & Postpartum Confidence Booster
Perhaps, you have been through childbirth before, but it has been “years” since your last delivery. Perhaps, things didn’t go as planned and you are hoping for a different experience this time. Perhaps, you are headed into this journey solo and want a class that is understanding of this. If you fit one of the above scenarios than this individualized 1.5hr class is for you!
Men’s Support Person Preparation
Did you know that approximately 13% of expectant fathers experience a pathological and debilitating fear of childbirth? What’s even more interesting is this doesn’t necessarily improve after they attend a delivery of a baby. This is a silent suffering that can be detrimental to the family dynamic. Studies have suggested that giving expectant fathers a space to address their fears and validate their feelings regarding childbirth can help combat this.
This one-on-one class is catered towards men as the birthing support person. Being a support person is a tough job! This class focuses on how you can best support your loved one during labor, delivery and postpartum. We will address common fears, do’s and don’ts and allow opportunity for questions that wouldn’t be asked if the pregnant loved ones were in attendance. Whether this is going to be your first time supporting your partner during delivery or the 5th time, this class will give you the confidence and knowledge you need to help your loved one through this major life transition. This is a great supplement to the couple’s preparation class but can be used as a stand-alone as well. This class is a private session class-please contact us to schedule the date and time at 302-922-6200 or email us at classes@mindfulmidwifery.net
