Brio Birth Childbirth classes offer the perfect mix of time-honored traditions and cutting edge research to empower 21st century moms to give birth with confidence. A team of top childbirth educators and birth professionals - with over a hundred years of combined birth experience - has designed this comprehensive curriculum.

You and your birth partner will be well educated and prepared for labor and birth. Your classes will teach you how to stay healthy throughout your pregnancy and to prepare your body for the big day. You will learn how to work as a team, so you can cope with the sensations of labor. You will learn about the natural process and why it is best for moms and babies. You will also be well educated about common medications and procedures so that you can make informed choices.

Included in the class is an intensive labor rehearsal that will help you develop strategies to prepare for a long labor, short labor, or the many variations that can occur along the way. The goal of your Brio Birth educator is for you to be well equipped for whatever course your labor may take.
