Fort Collins Childbirth EducationFort Collins Childbirth Education Classes to supplement your one or two day childbirth class. Most of the time couples are taking a childbirth class with their midwife or at a hospital, which is 8-12 hours. During this time, we find that there is a gap in the hands-on labor techniques for dad, or other labor assistants. This two hour class is to fill that gap.
The class is taught by Tiffany Blackden, a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and Fort Collins Childbirth Education Instructor. She has extensive training and certifications in prenatal massage , labor/childbirth support, childbirth education, and breastfeeding support. She has taught childbirth education since 2004, and has two children, both born without the use of any labor drugs. 
We highly recommend that couples take a Bradley Method (R) series of classes. These are 12 week series of classes, which provide in depth information about healthy pregnancy and labor. The classes are the primary option for couples who are planning on unmedicated chilbirth. We are also aware, though, that some couples are not able to get into one of the local classes, so they take a more abbreviated class. These abbreviated classes, don't provide enough hands-on tools to help the expectant couple to feel confident about going into labor. The students who have taken part in this class agree that they are much more comfortable about what they will 'actually' do when the time comes.These classes in Fort Collins Childbirth Education are geared to give you more tools to accomplish your goal of natural childbirth. Bringing your child into the world in your own way requires preparation of your body and mind. The understanding of how your body works best, what will help you to allow it to do so, how your partner or labor support team can help you and make you more comfortable in the work you'll do bringing your child into the world. You will truly be amazed at what you are capable of, when you understand the normal, natural way to give birth and how much it will benefit you and your baby.

We teach a two hour class, focused on helping mom and dad understand what labor will REALLY be like. The class includes a brief instruction on pregnant anatomy, what happens during labor, and what you can do to make the experience more comfortable. We do a 30-40 minute labor rehearsal, so the birth team can get used to the idea of working together for the important day.
