Balancing Birth offers Early Pregnancy Choices Class and Lamaze Class. The Early Pregnancy Choices Class offers a 2 hour class that addresses the following topics: nutrition, obstetrics, midwifery, and family practice models of care, places to give birth, pregnancy and postpartum body changes, birth spacing, breastfeeding, choosing a pediatrician, your support team, and local resources available. Balancing Birth also offers Lamaze Classes a variety of fun and highly interactive, evidence-based natural childbirth and parenting preparation classes that will get you laughing, learning, breathing, and connecting! Small class sizes (usually between 4 and 8 couples or families) provide an intimate adult-learning (or keiki-learning!) environment, where questions are asked, lively discussion is encouraged, and parents leave well-informed of their choices and more prepared for the work of labor, birth, and parenting. Classes are offered in both Hilo and Waimea, on the Big Island of Hawai’i.
