It will prepare you for:

• Things your friends aren't telling you

• What to expect the first 6 weeks

• How to baby-proof your marriage/partnership

• How to make the transition from pregnancy to parenthood with as little stress as possible

• Understanding your emotional and physical changes

This class was born out of our own experience as new mothers who seemed to be well educated on pregnancy and labor; and yet felt very unprepared and overwhelmed when we brought our first children home from the hospital.
