Our traditional Preparing for Childbirth class covers everything you need to know to prepare for childbirth, including:
3 weekly sessions
Member Tuition: $112.50
Non-Member Tuition: $125
Tuition covers the expectant parent plus one support person.
If you’re just looking for the basics, or prefer attending a shorter class, you can take our Preparing for Childbirth Fundamentals. This condensed class covers similar topics as our 3 week series, with the exception of in-depth conversations of labor variations and hands-on practice of labor and birth coping skills. Families are encouraged to practice comfort strategies on their own, or take our Labor Skills Workshop for guided hands-on practice.
Preparing for Childbirth Fundamentals – one 4 hour session
Member Tuition: $81
Non-Member Tuition: $90
Tuition covers the expectant parent and one support person.
Parents are encouraged to register in the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy and have their classes completed by about 36 weeks. Please note that a hospital tour is not part of prenatal classes at Amma. You can contact your birthplace directly for information about tours.
If you desire lower intervention, non-medicated childbirth, or a more in-depth experience of hands-on skills, you will benefit from taking the Labor Skills Workshop in addition to this class. You may also consider our Natural Childbirth 5 week series as an alternative to Preparing for Childbirth.
We ask that families read our policies before registering for classes. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Parents of twins (or triplets) need extra preparation! Caring for multiple tiny babies at once brings its own special set of joys and challenges. Join other families of multiples as we walk you through childbirth, care and feeding, and adjusting to life as a family of four or more. Spending time with a small group of other expectant parents will let you graduate with a support network of people who know just what you’re going through. A visit from a new family with multiple babies will cap off our time together.

Member Tuition: $189
Non-Member Tuition: $210

Natural Childbirth is the prenatal class best suited to women who wish to avoid or reduce the use of medications and interventions.
The birth process is the foundation of the class, and each week you’ll practice coping strategies like breathing, intentional relaxation, visualization, massage, and helpful positions. While this holistic approach makes it a good fit for women hoping for an unmedicated birth, pain medications, and supportive interventions are discussed. With less lecture and more interactive, hands-on learning, we will explore issues like keeping a positive attitude about your body’s abilities, advocating for yourself, informed decision making, exploring emotions, and how to prepare yourself for parenthood.
Spending time within a small group of other parents-to-be establishes a support network of other families who may become friends for life! You’ll even have a visit from a Natural Childbirth graduate family with their baby.
You’ll learn:
We recommend taking this class with plenty of time before your due date to practice the techniques throughout the third trimester. Please budget time to finish the class by about 34-36 weeks. As always, all families are welcome regardless of where their babies will be born. For those families birthing in a hospital, please note that a tour is not part of prenatal classes at Amma. We encourage you to contact your hospital directly for information about tours.
