It’s time to invest in yourself with childbirth and lactation preparation!

My Birth Class

A doula’s guide to empowered, supported, evidence based birth practices, our original curriculum was created by the doulas of MyBirth and reflects our 40+ years of combined childbirth experience. With the MyBirth childbirth education class, you will gain a thorough understanding of the mechanics of birth, comfort measures for pregnancy and labor, how to remain active and be your own advocate, & what to expect postpartum.

Though geared towards achieving an unmedicated birth, we will also thoroughly cover inductions and epidurals, common interventions/medications, family-centered cesareans, and how to be flexible when confronted with a new direction in your birth’s trajectory.

The Big Day

+ Getting ready for your birth: preparing for the birth you want.
+ Low-intervention birth; birth with or without an epidural.
+Is this labor?
+The stages of labor: what’s happening and what helps.
+Comfort measures and coping: hydrotherapy, massage, breathing, visualizations, and more!
+Making confident decisions: interventions and flexibility with changing plans.

Get the evidence-based information you need to have an informed, supported birth and a basic understanding of what the early days, weeks and months of feeding your baby look like. Our Returning to Work class is meant to be taken once baby is here as it’s focused on pumping for being away from your baby, introducing bottles, protecting your milk supply and work related prep.

All classes are taught by seasoned birth doulas and our IBCLC Lactation Consultant. Register on the MyBirth website under “classes & education”. Link is also in our bio. ✨

⭐️ PRENATAL YOGA ⭐️ How does prenatal yoga help you prepare for childbirth? During pregnancy, yoga reduces inflammation and swelling, improves circulation and respiration, stretches and balances muscles & ligaments, improves sleep, aids digestion, and reduces back & pelvic pain. During childbirth, birthing people who have practiced yoga prenatally benefit from practiced breathwork, strong muscles, a healthy cardiovascular system, and hips & pelvic floor that are ready to open.

Join Kate Hopkins on Monday evenings at 6pm for MyBirth prenatal yoga. If you are a MyBirth doula client, your first class is free. All experience levels & bodies welcomed! Single classes are $25, and a six-class package can be purchased for $135.

Your third trimester (30-35 weeks) is an ideal time for the prenatal visit, and it’s encouraged that your partner or support person attends. Whether you’re a first-time parent or want a refresher after nursing an older child, we will discuss your breastfeeding goals and I will provide tips and reminders to help you get off to a great start! We will review the fundamentals (such as how milk is made, baby’s intake needs, feeding cues, and proper latch positioning), reflect on what’s normal with lactation & nursing, and gather resources before baby arrives to help you feel more confident and set up for success. We will also review your health and breastfeeding history, pinpoint any issues that may impact your breastfeeding experience, and develop a care plan for initiating breastfeeding.

Our visit is in office or virtual. Duration is 1 hour. The first step to meet with me is to see if your insurance is covered. Links are listed at mybirthrva.com/lactation (link in bio) and then fill out the inquiry form and I’ll be in touch!
