Childbirth Education

Birthing from Within childbirth classes allow parents to learn through interactive, creative activities that explore and validate their own knowledge in the spirit of fun and curiosity while at the same time discussing non-biased, evidence-based information about pain-coping and labour management.

Classes discuss all topics typically covered in prenatal education courses (i.e., stages of labour, epidural, cesarean, medical pain management) and offer activities that allow parents to build their pain coping skills and explore the feelings that accompany the transition to parenthood. All activities promote a non-outcome focused mindset that allows parents to better cope with unexpected or unwelcome events during labour.

This class is designed for expectant mothers and their partners in the last three months of pregnancy. Classes are taught by Angela Miki, a Regina-based labour doula. Angela is the only Birthing from Within mentor in Saskatchewan and a mother of three energetic boys.

All Classes are Sundays, 2:30pm to 4:30pm except the July Class session.

Post-partum gathering to be followed.
