What Will I Learn in Childbirth Preparation Class?

Many students wonder what they will learn during a childbirth class series. Here is a copy of the four-week class series outline so you can see all of the subjects covered by the lessons. You’ll see a wide mix of discussion, hands-on activities, videos and practice time making it easy for any learning style to participate.
