We will take time to discuss your previous birth experience, define what is most important to you as you consider options for this pregnancy, and what you can do to increase your chances of a vaginal delivery if you choose to labor this time. 

You will learn how to prepare for a TOLAC at MMC, and understand strategies to prepare for both a vaginal and repeat caesarean birth if needed.

We recommend attending this class during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Birth is a normal, natural, process. Just like each person is unique, each pregnancy, labor and birth are unique. At Lincoln Hospital Family Birth Center, we believe the best approach is supporting the birthing person as they navigate this natural, beautiful process. We support your decisions and value client input as a vital part of the birthing experience and labor process.

As your family prepares for labor, delivery, and the arrival of this precious new baby, we are here to help make this exciting new journey the best experience it can be for all. 

Gentle Birth class provides education for you and your coach about the experience of childbirth through hypnosis, mindfulness, affirmations and breathing.  Brain science, birth science and technology help you have the most positive birth experience possible!

It is recommended that expecting clients participate in Gentle Birth class around 3-6 weeks before their due date. This class is for patients and their support person(s).  New this year we are offering an Understanding Breastfeeding course that will meet immediately after this course.
