Childbirth for Multiples helps families better understand the pregnancy and birthing process of twins, triplets or more.
This comprehensive class discusses stages of labor and delivery, relaxation and breathing techniques, labor coping skills, and postpartum issues and will prepare expectant families for the possible variances in pregnancy, labor, delivery and recovery in the multiples birth process.
In addition, the class addresses issues exclusive to parenting multiples such as traveling logistics, breastfeeding, and life with more than one baby at home.

Nutrition and weight gain
Aches and discomforts of pregnancies and possible remedies
Emotional and physical challenges of twin/triplet pregnancy
Relaxation, visualization and positions for laboring
Dealing with potential bedrest
Pregnancy complications warning signs, and current methods of treatment
Tests used to monitor multiple pregnancies
True labor versus practice labor
Induction methods
Comfort measures during labor: natural comfort techniques, analgesics, and other pain medication options
Vaginal and Cesarean birth processes
Premature babies and the NICU experience
Postpartum recovery and changes
Practical skills for managing your life at home with multiple newborns (breastfeeding, bonding, getting out of the house)
Childbirth is a normal, natural process, but it is also different for every woman and couple.
This class explores the joys and challenges of labor with multiples, and also empowers parents with information and tools to prepare them for the experience of childbirth, regardless of what their experience may be.
In this balanced, down-to-earth, non-judgmental class, each individual’s desire for their birth is honored and celebrated.
