- What happens with your body and with your baby in immediate postpartum

A portion of the class will be devoted to practicing various movements and labor positions so you and your partner are familiar and ready for the day labor begins. Dress comfortably! No need to bring anything aside from water, a snack and note-taking material if you would like. We will have handouts for you.

As a special gift, each couple will walk away with items for their birth & postpartum bag:

- Nourishing herbal tea blend for pregnancy + postpartum
- Labor comb to help manage labor sensations
- First 48-hour postpartum meal guide
- Discounts on private education classes with Holistic Family Doulas
- And more!

Schedule your class as soon as possible as space is limited! Errin will be reaching out to you ahead of the class to learn more about you and your upcoming birth. Please note: you do not have to be partnered to attend! Each birthing person can bring one support person, whether a partner, family member or friend.
