Thursday March 15, 2020 From: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Location: Riverside Natural Health Center, 5 Park St. #3C, Middlebury

This class is perfect as an addition to your hospital birth class or as a refresher for your 2nd, 3rd, of 10th birth! After a discussion on hormones involved in labor, the fear-tension-pain cycle, and the purpose of pain in labor, this class moves onto hands-on practice of comfort measures.

Reduce tension and build confidence as you work through a variety of comfort measures, practicing with your partner. Comfort Measures class also covers the role of a doula, hydrotherapy, the birth environment, and words of encouragement and affirmation.

We will practice Comfort Measures including:

• Positions for laboring

• Hands-on support from partners

• Rebozos Birth balls

• Breath

• Vocalization

• Massage

• Acupressure

• Visualization

• Guided meditation
