Birth Classes

Lamaze Classes Wilmington

Tmuffin’s Lamaze-based approach to birth classes gives expecting parents the confidence to make their birth experience inspiring and fulfilling. In these birth classes, you will not only get the facts and information about the process of birth, stages of labor, and interventions, but you’ll get real-world answers to your real-world questions. These classes are evidence based, and the evidence shows that women were made to give birth. We are the experts of our own bodies.

We offer two types of birth classes. Please click on the tabs below for more information:

We believe you are the expert of your own body, so you’ve already passed Birth 101. Birth 102 is a 2-day intensive workshop during which you’ll prepare for your upcoming birth.

In Tmuffin’s Birth 102 Lamaze-style classes, you and your partner will learn about:

  • How to build your confidence for an empowered birth
  • Signs of early labor and ideas to get through this stage
  • The stages and phases of labor
  • Ideas for optimal positioning and techniques for managing pain
  • How your labor support partner can help you with pain management
  • How the body’s natural mechanisms guide the birth process
  • How the body’s natural mechanisms are affected by medical interventions
  • Pros and cons of the epidural
  • Questions to ask your health care provider
  • How to write a birth plan and why you need one
  • Newborn choices and tests
  • The importance of keeping mom and baby together after birth.

This 6-week Lamaze class gives you a chance to connect with your classmates, build a network of support, and prepare for your birth and postpartum life.

These six-session Lamaze classes cover the same topics as the Birth 102 class, but go into more depth on the following topics:

  • Comfort techniques for labor
  • Visualization and relaxation techniques
  • Breastfeeding
  • Postpartum and newborn care

This class not only offers a comprehensive package including a full breastfeeding class and newborn care class, but it also gives expectant moms and their birth partners more time to learn about their upcoming birth and ask questions. The longer class gives couples more time to get to know one another and their instructor, to practice birth preparation techniques, and to create a network with other families having their babies at the same time.

We offer this class as a pot-luck style, so it’s more like an informal get-together, and no one will go hungry!
