Ten reasons to take a class with an Independent Childbirth Educator
Submitted by Natural Baby Pros on Nov 13, 2009
As a woman who has given birth I think back to when I decided it was time to have a baby. I never gave a second thought to the idea that I would take childbirth classes. I also knew that I wanted to have a natural vaginal birth. I had ideas on how birth should be and while I knew virtually nothing on the subject I did recognize that taking a childbirth class would help me to close this knowledge gap.

Submitted by Natural Baby Pros on Nov 08, 2009(as printed in Rogue Valley Parent, Mar. 2008)
For an ecstatic minute we watched as tufts of soft golden baby hair undulated in the warm water, then mom reached down to receive her new baby, birthed into her mother’s hands with a silent whoosh. …. A pink quiet moment of joy, mom and dad holding their 11 pound (!) baby girl, strong and alert from the start.
After five hours of active labor, free of distress or anxiety, free of any hard pushing, free of intervention… this mother’s description was “it just felt wonderful… it felt so good…. I just loved that.”
