UNCOVERING BIRTH CHILDBIRTH CLASSES IN BRUNSWICK, MAINE
Understand birth. Know your choices. Prepare together.
Birth asks you to move through intensity, uncertainty, and decisions. Understanding how it works ahead of time gives you and your partner a shared foundation for meeting it. Uncovering Birth explores the physiology of birth, the conditions that support it, and the choices you may face, always with both mother and baby in mind.
Taught by Kelly, PT, DPT, certified Uncovering Birth educator.

Partners aren't labor coaches.
A mother in labor often needs to turn inward. Her partner's role is to understand her, understand birth, know her rights and preferences, and protect her space and her decisions so she can do that.
Learning in community
Classes are small, with time for questions and connection with other families who are also preparing, relationships that often carry into postpartum.
