Childbirth Education
If you aren't aware of your options, then you don't have any.
Childbirth is a moment of intense emotions. Your birth is a memory that you will
live and re-live again and again. Be an informed consumer. Knowledge is power.

Contractions are like waves hitting the shore.

The purpose of childbirth preparation is self-discovery. The childbirth
educator is a guide to the parents' discovery process, not the expert
from who wisdom flows.
