Comfort Measures for Birth - In Person - La Jolla

Learn skills that are beneficial throughout postpartum recovery.

Explore a variety of ways to ease discomfort during labor. In this interactive discussion, you’ll learn about relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and comfort measures you can use at home or in the hospital. Topics include the role of your support person, helpful labor positions, tips for using a birthing ball, and information about aromatherapy as a comfort option. We recommend you also take a Childbirth Preparation Course (Online Childbirth or In Person). This can be a good refresher course for expectant families.
