SeattleBirthNet:  Childbirth Education Philosophy
Childbirth Education and Labor Support for Expectant Families
My view on childbirth education is that your time is best spent preparing to use your mind and body as the
catalyst for the birth of your baby.
We will focus on:

  • Knowing what to expect during Labor and Delivery from your body and your baby
  • Understanding the powerful connection between your trust in your body and baby to know what to do and
    your ability to be able to follow those messages
  • Creating a basic paradigm of childbirth as a normal life process that you can accomplish with empathy for
    your baby's experience and scientific understanding of what your body can do
  • Creating a birth plan which you fully understand--you will have the opportunity to learn about the variety of
    procedures and options that you will likely be presented with in the place you are choosing to birth
  • Working with your partner to give him a basic understanding of comfort measures
  • Homework!  You will be given lists of resources and suggestions for educating yourself on your pregnancy,
    labor, and delivery.  Quizzes you can do with your partner,  help finding and hiring a doula and evaluating
    the options you have for locations and providers as desired
