Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown
Natural Moms
Are you wanting to have a natural, unmedicated birth experience? If yes, then this Natural Moms course is for you!
Preparing for childbirth can be overwhelming, but our team of nurse educators here at ASTH Midtown are here to help guide and support you through the process!
Our Natural Moms course is designed to prepare you and your support person for a natural, unmedicated birth experience. The instructor will not only cover the basics of the labor and delivery process but will also focus on learning and practicing some of the most talked-about and popular coping techniques. We will include stretches and exercises to prepare your body for labor and delivery. While we are not certified instructors of Spinning Babies, Lamaze, Body Ready Method etc., we do incorporate some of their teachings and principles into our classes.
As an added bonus, this course also includes the Birth Center Orientation information that is required to be eligible to deliver in one of our special Birth Center suites. So, expectant moms taking this course will not have to pay for or attend the separate orientation.
