Description
Are you looking for a childbirth class that gives you the flexibility of online learning, but also the support of live weekly connections with your instructor and other students?
By taking the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, you and your partner will not only learn the evidence for your birth options in a fully online class, but you’ll also get to meet with an experienced mentor and other parents in the Morristown, who are going through pregnancy and birth just like you! This class is limited to only 6 couples. You do not need to be local to the instructor to take the class!
NEW for 2020 - This class can now also be used to meet the Our Birthing Center Childbirth Class requirement.
This Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is mentored by Cindy Calvano, MSEd, CPDT, CD, BMCE, LLLL. Cindy is a Certified Doula Trainer, Certified Childbirth Educator, Doula, and Lactation Counselor who has been teaching Evidence Based Birth® classes to parents and professionals since 2015!

Will I Learn how to have a Natural Birth?
Evidence Based Birth® believes that every person has their own unique path. Instead of focusing on medicated vs. unmedicated birth, we focus on giving you tools and helping you learn the evidence, so that you can be empowered to make your own decisions! We do have a strong emphasis on non-drug comfort measures, because they have no side effects and can be used by everyone, whether or not you plan to use medications.
At the end of this class, you will have all the tools you need to create your ultimate labor and birth experience. If you want a natural birth, this class will give you the relaxation and pain management tools you need to have a natural birth. If you need an epidural or Cesarean, we’ll cover how you can be empowered that way, too!
