Group Lamaze childbirth classes
Increase Your Confidence with Group Prenatal Classes...
You cannot orchestrate birth, but you can educate yourselves and learn how to increase your chances of a positive and healthy birth experience. CCS provides comprehensive childbirth education classes in Cochrane and Red Deer based on the 6 healthy birth practices of Lamaze International. Lamaze is not new, but has ‘rebirthed’ their philosophy and as you prepare to meet your wee one, we offer the following options a one-day-class or our 8-week group class. As with all of our childbirth education classes, content will promote pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting as normal. Our curriculum is designed to reduce fear and increase your confidence. All group childbirth classes will explore the following topics:
