Childbirth classes in
Quincy
Birth Partners Pregnancy
Mentors announces that
childbirth' education classes
will begin Feb. 7 in Quincy
from 6 to 8:30 p.m., and will
continue February 9, 14, 16, 21
and 23.
Each class covers a differ-
ent topic. The series covers
the stages of labor, comfort
and relaxation techniques,
the role of the labor partner,
medical and alternative inter-
ventions and augmentations
of labor and birth, breastfeed-
ing, postpartum issues, par-
enting the newborn and bond-
ing and attachment.
Why attend childbirth
classes? Evidence indicates
that:
Delivery was less distress-
ing in those who attended
childbirth education classes.
At age 6-9 weeks, infants
born to parents who took
classes that included early in-
fant care displayed signifi-
cantly better sleeping pat-
terns than infants of parents
who did not.
Information gained about
the use of pain medication in
labor was clearly helpful
when women made decisions
about pain relief.
Classes facilitated positive
birth outcomes, including re-
duction of Cesarean births.
The mother's confidence in
her innate ability to give
birth was enhanced.
Positive feelings toward
the birth, health caregivers
and the infant were fostered.
There were decreases in
the use of drugs during labor
--including costly epidurals.
Attendance at childbirth
classes was associated with a
75 percent increase in the
odds that a child would be
breastfed.
"Your classes helped me
see that I need to start making
responsible health decisions
for my child now, during
pregnancy," said a 2010 Birth
Partners participant.
Classes are partially fund-
ed by Plumas Rural Services'
California Women, Infants
and Children (WIC) depart-
ment, and Plumas Crisis and
Intervention and Resource
Center. Classes are free for
WIC and other eligible fami-
lies. Pre-registration for class-
es is requested. For more in-
formation, contact Susie Wil-
son at 284-1406, birthpartners
