Why Childbearing Society is Essential for Expectant Parents
Most moms reach a point throughout their pregnancies where they start to freak out just a little. It feels like you look down at your belly one day and realize, oh my gosh, this is actually happening!!! Followed by lots of internal screaming. If you’re going through this, take a second and breathe. You are strong, you are powerful, and you’ve got this! You just need a little help so you can be ready the second those contractions start. As a Vancouver motherhood photographer, I get to connect with countless parents who have gone through this exact experience. Here is how Childbearing Society has helped them through it!
About the Childbearing Society
3569 Commercial Street, Vancouver, AB V5N 4E8
Childbearing Society is a center that offers prenatal classes for expecting parents. They were founded in 1973 and have been recommended by providers ever since. This non-profit group is dedicated to providing you with knowledge so you can feel ready as you get further along. They want you to be able to take control of your experience and serve as your own advocate throughout delivery. They also put the community in the middle of all they do. With this group, you are going to have a village that lasts beyond your due date.
Services
While Childbearing Society has a huge variety of classes, perhaps their most popular option is their Prenatal Class. This is available both in person and online. If you do decide to book it in person, you can choose between an evening and a weekend workshop. You will spend 14-16.5 hours learning everything there is to learn about delivery. They will go over normal labour and birth, relaxation methods, positions, and coping skills. Additionally, they give you nonjudgmental information on medical pain relief and will work with you to learn how to make decisions throughout birth. They will also chat about newborn care, early parenthood, and breastfeeding.
If you are looking for something a little more tailored to your needs, they have you covered! They have classes for scheduled c-sections, breastfeeding, expecting twins, and home birth. They also have a crash course specifically for dads!
Specialty
Once your baby is born, you can continue to attend Childbearing Society classes that will make you feel confident! They have baby-wearing classes and lactation help. They also have parent and baby circles. With these sessions, you are going to be able to connect with other local parents who know exactly what you’re going through. This community is going to be vital as you face all the challenges of new parenthood!
