Yale Childbirth Classes Prepare Parents for Every Situation

It doesn’t matter if this is your first pregnancy or your fifth. There is simply no way that you can know what your birth will actually look like. No matter how iron-clad your birth plan is, everything can change in a moment’s time. You need a professional who will work with you so you can be prepared for pretty much every situation. As a Connecticut family photographer, I adore getting to chat with parents all about their own birth experiences. If you could use a little guidance, let me tell you why the Yale Childbirth Classes might just be right for you!

About the Yale Childbirth Classes

Yale Childbirth Classes are one of the many services offered through Yale New Haven Health. At this hospital, they are dedicated to making sure you have all the tools you need for your perfect birth plan. Not only are you going to receive customized prenatal care, but their birthing center lets you deliver your own way. You can count on large hydrotherapy tubs, private labor rooms, and providers who will be there to prioritize your voice. By pairing their maternity care with their childbirth classes, you are going to feel completely ready for your delivery!

Services

The Yale childbirth classes are some of the most convenient classes in our part of Connecticut. You will be able to choose from online and in-person classes. By selecting their in-person sessions, you are going to get some hands-on assistance while getting to connect with other parents across the area. Their childbirth classes are available as either full day or two-week series. During this time, you are going to learn about the different types of birth (including both vaginal and c-section deliveries), comfort measures, what to expect from the different stages of labor, pain relief options, and the role of a support person. 

These classes are a fantastic resource for all parents no matter how much experience you have. You are going to learn about the different things that could happen so you’ll feel ready for any situation. They recommend that you take it two months ahead of your delivery so you can be prepared well before labor starts. If you do choose to take the online session, you will have a live webinar where you will get to interact with the instructor. You can ask questions and get advice tailored to your unique situation.  This is a great option if you live from from New Haven.

Specialty

In addition to their childbirth classes, Yale offers classes that span across a wide range of topics. You are going to get to learn breastfeeding basics, infant and child CPR, and newborn care. They offer new parent support groups as well as grandparenting classes. They even have sessions that will teach you about how to introduce your new baby to your pup! 

You Will Love The Confidence You Gain From Yale Childbirth Classes

By taking a Yale childbirth class, you can feel ready once labor begins. And if you still need a little help getting prepared for your little one, just let me know. As a Connecticut family photographer, I adore working with parents to plan photo sessions so they can remember every second of this season. I would love to have a conversation and tell you all about my style so you can decide if I am the photographer for you.  Newborn sessions are one of my absolute favorite types of sessions!  Send me a message today to learn more!
