Choosing the Right Class for You at Big Belly Services

 Classes at Big Belly Services are truly extra-ordinary.  This means we think they are great AND they are not 'ordinary'.   To help you have the best experience possible in your classes:

 First, take a look at the descriptions of some of the classes we are currently offering to get an idea of what you are most interested in.   Then, look at the chart below, which includes some things to consider when selecting which classes to take:.  This will help you to find the class that will be the best fit for your needs.

Exploring your own ideas

ALL of our classes hold this as the highest goal

Cover stages of labor and what to expect

7-week Evening Series; Weekend Immersion

Lots of pain-coping exercises

7-week Evening Series, Weekend Immersion

Customized to answer your questions

ALL of our classes are designed to ask what you want to know first; we don’t follow a set agenda

Opportunity to talk/share

ALL of our classes focus on group dialog as an excellent means for learning - building on what you already know, hearing and learning from others, exploring different options with an open heart and mind.  You don't have to talk/share if you are the quiet or shy type, but others will be so be prepared for  group dialog.

Getting to know a group of parents

7-week Evening Series is the best opportunity, as you spend nearly 2 months getting to know each other

Learn how to make decisions

7-week Evening Series and Weekend Immersion will spend the most time on this; all classes encourage parents to explore their options and their values to make the best decision possible for them

Art exercises

7-week Evening Series; Weekend Immersion; VBAC and Refresher classes

Physical Comfort

7-week Evening Series, any evening class; the Weekend Immersion and all-day classes are going to challenge your ability to stay in one position/chair all day.  We use this as an opportunity to learn how to take charge of your physical comfort – just like you have to do in labor!

Lots of data

None of our classes are data-focused.  Which isn’t to say that our teachers aren’t up-to-date on the latest research in their fields.  However, our realm is the heart and the wisdom that each person brings to class.  We build on that and offer data to supplement what you already know to be true.
