Lamaze Childbirth Classes

lamaze childbirth classes

The amount of information expecting families are expected to understand is overwhelming.

How do you know if your care provider is a good fit?

How do you decide what path and options are right for you?

How do you know what you don't know?

I have tailored my classes to address these concerns and much more using the Lamaze healthy birth practices.

Each childbirth class includes:

prenatal classes

"My husband and I went to see Hidayah last year before the birth of our son. She was very down to earth and her explanations and breakdown of everything was very informative and comforting. We left our visit feeling at ease. She has continued to follow up with me even after birth. My husband and I would highly recommend!"

“Just as a woman's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth."
