Throughout the 12 weeks we will cover nearly all topics related to pregnancy and birth, including:

benefits of exercise during pregnancy
specific pregnancy exercises
pregnancy anatomy
birthing myths vs. birthing secrets
releasing fears
stages of labor
effective positions for labor
working with your body

and a whole lot more
Once everyone has had their babies, we have a reunion party to celebrate and meet all the little ones. One of the greatest joys of the class is watching the moms-groups and playgroups that develop out of the relationships built during our twelve weeks together!
