W e want you and your baby to have the best, safest and most rewarding birth experience possible.  For that reason we teach the following ideals in class:
1
NATURAL Childbirth
2
Active participation of the Husband as coach
3
Excellent nutrition, the foundation of a healthy pregnancy
4
Avoidance of drugs during pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding unless absolutely necessary
5
Training:  "Early-bird" classes, followed by weekly classes starting in the 6th month, continuing until birth
6
Relaxation and NATURAL breathing
7
"Tuning-in" to your body
8
Immediate and continuous contact with your new baby
9
Breastfeeding beginning at birth
10
Consumerism and positive communication
11
Parents taking responsibility for the safety of the birth place, procedures, attendants, and emergency back-up
12
Parents prepared for unexpected situations such as emergency childbirth and cesarean section

These goals are possible for the vast majority of pregnant couples. Occasionally medical intervention is necessary and appreciated. There is an appropriate time for intervention, and an appropriate time to let nature take its natural course. Educated parents have the responsibility to make these choices with input from many sources including the birth team they have chosen.  It is important to seek out medical people who have experience with educated couples and who will support their informed choices. This takes considerable effort and sometimes requires researching what is available locally or traveling great distances to seek the safest possible birth.
