THE LAMAZE DIFFERENCE
Lamaze educators are working to make a difference for moms and babies.
Pregnancy and labor are often unpredictable, but there’s so much you can do to make choices that are based on what’s best for your unique needs. You can count on Lamaze childbirth education classes to help you feel confident about the information you use to help navigate your options. Lamaze classes are backed by extensive research that supports a woman’s natural ability to give birth safely. You may think that in today’s digital age, childbirth education classes are not necessary. But a good childbirth education class helps you sort through conflicting or inaccurate information, and choose a care provider and birthplace that’s right for you. Your education can make all the difference. We educate parents about the best birth practices based on the most current medical evidence available. We believe knowledge is power, and our childbirth education classes can help you recognize, and get, the care that’s the best fit for you and your baby. |
