Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life.
She may alternate between joy and fear, wonder and anxiety. It may
be difficult to wade through all the information and unsolicited advice
about what's best for her and for her baby. During a time when she
is most sensitive to input from others, she may be bombarded with
conflicting information. Birth is the final transition in the
journey from an individual person to Mother, who will forever live with
a piece of her heart outside of herself. It is our honor at Baby
Steps to offer mothers and fathers the information and tools they need
to make the decisions that are best for their families.
Why is taking a childbirth class such an important part of your
pregnancy? It may be a crucial step in avoiding unnecessary
surgery and other procedures. The cesarean rate among
Intuitive Birth students is 10%, which is
69% lower than the 2007 Georgia cesarean rate of 32%, and within the
guidelines of the World Health Organization. By taking a
comprehensive class like Intuitive Birth or
Preparing for Your Birth and hiring a
Baby Steps doula, you can give birth in comfort
and safety. Read more about why a
childbirth class is important.
