If you have DSHS insurance, I will bill DSHS directly. Just call or text me at 360-486-4070 or text me a picture of your provider one card with the class date you wish to attend.

Ideally between 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. You want to be done about a month before your due date. It's never too late, though! I often have moms in class that are due any day!
Yes. We realize that it's not always possible, but you will be spending quite a bit of time in this class and the hospital where it is held. It is nice to become comfortable with the hospital where you plan to deliver. A tour of labor and delivery is included in the class day as well.
We discuss the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, labor and birth, discomforts of pregnancy, when to contact your doctor, when to go to the hospital, comfort measures for labor and birth, pain options, practice breathing, relaxation and labor positions, medical interventions, epidurals, coping techniques, C-sections, post partum, newborns, and spend the last 1 1/2 hours of class learning about breastfeeding and even practicing with dolls and balloons! A tour of labor and delivery is also included in your class day.
******ALL CLASSES WILL BE ONLINE, LIVE AND INTERACTIVE ON ZOOM UNTIL COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED******
