VBAC  PREPARATION  CLASS

 

     This one-day class is intended for parents who are planning a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and would like special attention paid to their needs.  This class will focus on creating a positive mindset for birthing normally, review what you would like to do differently and/or the same from your past birth experience(s), build on your coping skills, discuss how to involve and prepare older siblings for the birth and the new baby,  and connect with other parents who are sharing a similar experience.  You will identify what worked and what didn't in your past birth(s), and spend a day focusing on this pregnancy.  The class is 8-hours and allows time for parents to connect to this pregnancy, this baby, and each other.

"My husband and I took your VBAC class in January and I wanted to let you know that I had a wonderfully successful delivery by VBAC........It was an incredible experience!...I just wanted to say thank you again for the class and for being an important part of my path to feeling powerful and confident about birthing."  AB

"My husband and I are so glad we took this class.  It gave him a little more understanding of what I and the other women went through, and it helped me process my first birth so that I feel in a better place mentally for my upcoming birth.  I appreciated Angie's teaching style and her suggestions for helping shape our birth preferences (as opposed to having a birth plan) for this birth as well as coping techniques.  She also has helped me gain confidence that this can be a positive experience whether I have a successful VBAC or if end up with a CBAC."  NC
