About this event

The Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class was designed to empower birthing families with education and advocacy by giving you a realistic depiction of what it's like to give birth in your community and what you can do to ensure their birthing experience is a positive one. This course is much deeper than the typical childbirth class and the knowledge you gain is far more vast than pushing and breathing. An overview of each week's class is listed in the Agenda section. This 6 week class meets every Thursday from 7:30-8:30pm EST starting on the date you choose when selecting tickets.
