Healthy Birth Options

We have just two meetings left for our childbirth class. I'm so happy to have found it. It's located at The Healing Path in Federal Hill. I was having trouble finding any natural childbirth classes in Baltimore. Luckily, the director of the The Healing Path, who is also expecting next month, ran into the same problem and decided to create a class of her own!

The instructor, Helaine, is great. The class is called Healthy Birth Options and is largely based on the Bradley Method. There are three other couples in the class. We've learned a lot so far. We have to give a presentation at the last class on the topic of our choosing. Jason and I decided to do Attachment Parenting. We had heard much about it (mainly through our favorite parenting magazine, Mothering). We started reading up on it and it definitely seems to fit us well! We plan on incorporating many of the ideas with Sage!

The instructor is also a car seat safety inspector and will be checking our car seat next class. Hooray!
