Join Our Next Birth Class in Clarkston

Labor is unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk into it without a plan.

Our next Detroit Dreams Tonight birth class in Clarkston is focused entirely on Comfort Measures for Labor, giving expecting parents like you, practical tools they can easily adapt and use.

This is a hands-on class designed to help you and your birth partner feel more prepared for the physical and mental work of labor. We’ll talk through and practice different positions, movement, breathing techniques, massage, counter-pressure, hip squeezes, comfort tools, and other ways your birth partner can help during labor.

We’ll also talk about how these techniques can be used throughout different stages of labor and how to adjust when something that worked beautifully ten minutes ago no longer gives you the relief you need.

The goal for this class isn’t to teach you how to have a particular kind of birth. The goal is to give you options. It doesn’t matter if you plan to go au naturale or opt for an epidural, there is something in this class for everyone!

Your birth partner plays an important role in labor, too. Knowing how to offer physical support, recognize what you need, and stay engaged can make a huge difference. This class gives them hands-on guidance and practice to discover what is helpful, what isn’t, and how to easily adapt their supportive approach based on what stage of labor you’re in or what sensations you’re experiencing.

We’ll spend our time practicing these techniques together so you can leave with a better understanding of what feels comfortable for you and a few tools you can continue practicing at home.

Our next Comfort Measures for Labor class is coming up at Little Roots Play Cafe in Clarkston on MONDAY, OCTOBER 5th at 6pm.
