I know that there are many costs that come up for families during their pregnancy and as you prepare for a baby in your life.  This page was developed to provide information on payment options and to help you attend the classes you want.

1.  If you want to take classes from Big Belly Services, you are welcome to come even if you aren't able to pay the full fee. 

2.  I do not accept Medical Coupons as I have chosen to not contract with the State of Washington as an independent instructor.

3.  Most insurance companies do NOT reimburse for childbirth classes. 

4.  Many Flex accounts or tax-sheltered savings plans provided by employers DO reimburse costs for childbirth classes.  Please let us know if you need a receipt for these purposes. 

I offer these guidelines for you to determine a fair way to compensate your instructor for her time, and to honor your financial abilities.  I believe that every one has a right to attend the classes of their choice, regardless of ability to pay. 

The minimum cost for any series or weekend class is $50.00, to cover the cost of your Notebook and materials.  The minimum cost for any single class is $25.00. 

Please remember that if you register for a class, regardless of how much you've paid, that it is your spot in class and it is not given to anyone else.  If you cancel your registration at the last minute, or don't show up to class, you may be preventing another deserving couple from coming to the class, so please have the same level of commitment to your classes as you would if you had paid the full fee.
