Comfort Measures for Childbirth is a birth preparation class that focuses on comfort techniques to help with many common challenges of labor. This workshop will offer a hands-on learning experience for each pregnant participant and their support partner. We will explore the following comfort measure techniques: massage; breath work; ideal positioning for common discomforts, as well as, effective positions for each stage of labor and delivery; visualization techniques; sound therapy; aromatherapy; hydrotherapy; the utilization of heat and cold compresses; and acupressure. We will also discuss birth plans, packing for the hospital and how to make the best use of common supplies offered at the hospital. This is a one day workshop that can be taken alone or in addition to all other birth preparation classes. It is relevant for first time, experienced parents looking to prepare for a subsequent birth, and/or parents trying for a vaginal labor and delivery after a cesarean delivery (VBAC). This workshop is open all birth considerations and supports parents in helping them achieve their birth plan.
