Prenatal Education Class Series
Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, Birthing Center birth, or home birth, KNOW YOUR OPTIONS. Our classes are intended to reframe birth into an experience that is positive and empowering. We provide you and your partner with a complete understanding of how to live in your pregnancy, what you can be doing to optimize your pregnancy, explain how your baby navigates through your pelvis in labor, what that looks like from the outside, when to go to your place of birth, how your birth partner can be supporting you, what interventions are available to you, basics of breastfeeding and newborn care. The only right answers are the ones that feel right for you.
We welcome EVERYONE interested in taking our classes. All classes stand alone, but if you are taking the Series, we suggest you start with “Living in Your Pregnancy” and move through the rest. You are also welcome to start where we are, and circle back to the first classes in the next rotation. OR, we now have another option available with a one day intensive course!
Our classes are included as part of Cary House/Buffalo Birth & Baby doula services. If you are not a client, the fee is $100 per 2-hr class, $450 for a Series (we currently have eight in rotation) or $350 for the One-Day Intensive which includes access to the recordings of our full Childbirth Ed series where you can revisit information in your own time at your own pace for a deeper dive.

While there's no "right or wrong" for creating a birth plan, it is important to understand what options are available to you and when the best time is to utilize them. Prepare for your due date by making informed, evidence-based decisions before hand, and ensure you don’t head to the hospital too soon.
For those planning an out-of-hospital birth, we still encourage you to take this class is to help you know what options and interventions are available if you need them. We can plan to stay after class to discuss WHY you might want to transfer into a hospital and what to consider when making that decision.
