Lamaze Childbirth Education Classes

group-prenatal-class-winnipeg-manitoba.jpg

Lamaze education and practices are based on the best, most current medical evidence available. Our group classes are taught by experienced and certified Lamaze instructors who attend births in all birth settings in Winnipeg.  

We include all your options, and keep our classes small so you have plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Our goal is for you to have the best birth possible, however you define it.

Unlike most childbirth education courses, Lamaze also covers the early postpartum period, also known as “The Fourth Trimester”. Our classes will provide you with practical and important information about what to expect in those early days, weeks and months following the birth of your baby.


YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How labor works: signs, stages, when to call, when to go

  • The full range of comfort measures (massage, breathing, positioning, hydrotherapy etc)

  • Epidurals and pain medication options

  • Informed decision making

  • Fetal monitoring, induction and cesarean birth

  • Optimizing pushing, the golden hour and skin-to-skin

  • Tips, tricks and techniques for your birthing companion

  • Feeding, bonding and postpartum recovery

  • The “Fourth Trimester”

  • Bonus: Access to our pre-recorded 9-module Breastfeeding class (value: $75)
