In this six week session, we will explore:
• not only how labor works, but how to trust your body and the labor process.
• birth art.
• assumptions about pain in our culture.
• pain coping techniques.
• the "awesomeness" of what you are doing.
• each others' thoughts and feelings.
• accepting and coping with those unwanted surprises that sometimes happen during labor and birth.
• and so much more...
I am also developing a postpartum group, in cooperation with Hellen McDonald, LCSW. This group will be for women 18 and older who are planning a pregnancy, pregnant for the first time, or who have a baby under one year old.
