Birthin' Again


Birthin' Again is a refresher class for all parents who have given birth before and are preparing for their next child -- regardless of what type of preparation they did for previous births.

Many couples do a lot of preparation for the first birth, but find very little time and energy for preparation in later pregnancies.

Sometimes, if the first birth went well, they often assume they'll know how to get through it again, but underestimate the gap in memory, mindset, and practice that time has taken.

If the first birth experience was a difficult one, it can be very common for a lot of anxiety and assumptions to start to build up as the labor approaches, which can have a negative effect on the pregnancy, mom, family, and the next labor.

First labors also usually have a very different timeline and progression than subsequent ones, so it is crucial for parents preparing for a new birth to know they may need to be looking for different signs and sensations this time and respond on a different time-clock!

Birthin' Again is much more than just a refresher -- it is an opportunity for a reconnection, a recommitment, and a renewal for yourself, your new baby, and your family.
  • Have you had much time to connect with this pregnancy and this baby?
  • Did you feel the coping skills you had helped you in your last labor? If so, are they as fresh in your mind (& your partner's mind) as last time?
  • Did you get the support you needed from your partner, caregivers, and others during the labor and postpartum periods?
  • How will what you learned last time serve you in this next birth, if this labor is very different than your previous experience?
  • Are your memories from your last birth helping or hindering your confidence and comfort as you think about this next labor and birth?
  • What can you do to put your mind more at ease about how you and the whole family will adjust and have your needs met after this baby's arrival?

This refresher course is led by experienced childbirth assistants who are also trained in the Birthing From Within style of preparation, as a thorough and mindful preparation for your entire experience in becoming a parent again to this new child and your new family unit.
