C-Sections, classes and surgery?
Posted by: | CommentsI am trying to find out if mothers-to-be who are planning on having a C-section bother with Lamaze classes? How long does a C-section usually take? And what might happen if a mother goes into labor when she needs the C-section?

Why aren’t there any C-section birthing classes?
Posted by: | CommentsI would think that they would be a great idea for those of us that are having repeats. I would like the focus to be on the mother before surgery and what the father can do to relax her. What the couple might ask the Dr to do while she is having the baby…Music playing…And then focus on teaching dad on what to do afterwards for mom and baby. And teaching mom what she can and cannot do. I sure could have used that as my Lamaze classes did nothing for us after my c section and neither did my hubby. He wants to make it different this time and I know he will.
But wouldn’t it be cool if there were classes? Focus more on comfort in pregnancy and aftercare… I wish I had the means to start it…
The class would not be for what to do during it would focus on teaching couples what they can do for each other to not make it seem like a let down.
planned c sections are more frequest then you think. I would have the class focus more on massage and after care.
Anyone taking/taken a birthing class?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m thinking of taking Bradley classes next month! Anyone taken a birthing class, Bradey/Lamaze/Other? What do you think of them… Are they useful? Are they worth the $275?
This is my first baby and I would like a natural birth…
I am a first time mother due March 20th. From 2 and half months I have been walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a stretch. I go up till 2.4 at the max so my speed is 2.4 and then I change every few minutes to 2.3…a pace I can handle and won’t race my heartbeats too much either. I exercise 2 days and then take a break on 3rd day, again walk the next 2 days and so on. Anyway I want to ask other moms who have walked outdoors/used the treadmill if your labor was easier, or less painful, and how was your delivery compared to when you did not exercise? Did you still need an epidural or could you use Lamaze slow chest/shallow breathing and cope with pain with the help of exercise? Please tell me moms out there! Thanks, Tracey
What do think? Birthing classes, Prenatal/Reproductive Massage/Prenatal yoga?
Posted by: | CommentsI will specailize in Prenatal/Reproductive massage therapy. I will also Instruct Lamaze classes and Prenatal yoga. I wanted to be contracted with a birthing center. Do u think it is a good idea. Aplace to be pampered and educated. I will hold special sessions for parent chatting and coffee sessions for moms to chat. This will be a place for women with reproductive problems as well for ex endometrosis. It will help the birthing partners or coaches learn to massage and help relax the woman in labor. Do u have any ideas that may be helpful. These services will be affordable and include packages as well also considering offering a complimentary massage for mothers who have just given birth. Since insurance companys usually don’t cover massage these services will be affordable.
Pain management tips for natural child labor…(it’s not the first pregnancy)?
Posted by: | CommentsWondering what I can learn besides the Lamaze technique.
This is kind of a dumb question but……?
Posted by: | CommentsOk to some of you this is probably going to sound stupid. I’m a first time mom and I’m starting Lamaze classes in a couple days and I was wondering what do you wear to them??
i never took a child birthing class, help!!?
Posted by: | CommentsI am 35 weeks pregnant with my 1st, a girl, and I was never able to take lamaze or a chilld birthing class. I’m afraid I won’t be prepared for labor and delivery. Does anyone know a website where I can learn about breathing and positioning and whatever else a class would teach me? Any advise or? I have books but I would like to see video or something more imaginable. Thanks!
Any advice for a natral child birth?
Posted by: | CommentsI am 26 weeks pregnat with my forth child. This will be my first attempt at an unmedicated childbirth. I had epidurals with my other three, one of which didnt begain to work until after the baby was born. Being as I am a bit older and wiser now I decided that having a large needle stuck in my spine follwed by a plastic tube and a steady flow of narcotic wasnt a good idea. I’ve read up on Hypno-birthing, Lamaze and all kinds of other techniques to help with a natral birth… So what worked for you? Any advice would be so very appreciated! Thanks in advance!
