Birth Concepts for Believers 

Birth Concepts 

The birth of a child is one of the most memorable times in your lives, not to be taken lightly. God has entrusted you with the blessing of raising one of his own children and we all have a great responsibility to do our best from the time of conception.

Birth Concepts for Believers will teach you what Gods’ design is for childbirth and how we are to be good stewards of this gift. There are actually a number of references to childbirth in the Bible and we will explore many of them together in class.

In addition to the spiritual perspective of the pregnancy, birth, and parenting, we will also be learning how the body works, good nutrition and exercise, birth choices, and pain coping skills. You will also be given opportunities to practice some of the skills and coping techniques learned in class,

Throughout the 8 weeks of classes, there will be guest speakers and bonus events including: baby-wearing basics, movie nights (Business of Being Born), introduction to cloth diapering, breastfeeding introduction plus Q&A, doula Q&A, circumcision information, vaccination Q&A, and chiropractic care in pregnancy.

Giving birth to your baby is one of the most important and miraculous events of your lives yet very few expectant parents prepare for it adequately. You are parents from the time of conception and so begins wanting only the best for your child. You will have many decisions to make throughout your child’s life and YOU will live with the good or bad consequences.

Deciding to take classes, and gaining as much knowledge as you can, is a great step in the right direction to becoming a parent dedicated to taking control of their child’s health.

Birth Concepts is designed to prepare you for childbirth and a basic introduction into natural parenting concepts. This class will include education on birth options, exercise, nutrition, coping skills, anatomy of birth, and practice of skills learned. There will also be professionals joining each session to discuss breastfeeding, doula support, midwives, chiropractors, massage therapists, and others. I will be introducing some basics of natural parenting like cloth diapers and baby wearing.
