Birthing Classes

Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.      
                                              -Psalm 127:3 KJV

Fruit of the Womb - Birthing God's Way is a 6 week, Bible based childbirth preparation class for all expectant parents.  In addition to traditional childbirth education, there is a weekly Bible study using the Lord of Birth Pregnancy Workbook by Jennifer Vanderlaan.  The homework for this study is minimal. 

Classes meet one time per week for six consecutive weeks.  Each class is approximately 2 hours.  These classes are designed for first time parents as well as those with previous experience.

I believe that education and preparation, both physically and spiritually, are the key components to having  a positive and fulfilling birth experience.

 Topics include:

  • The miracle growing inside of you
  • Societal and cultural impact on birthing
  • God's view of pregnancy and childbirth
  • Choosing your birthing team
  • Healthy pregnancy nutrition and exercise
  • Deep relaxation techniques
  • Medical interventions
  • Supporting the laboring woman
  • Comfort measures during labor
  • Inviting God to your birth
  • Caring for baby
