DWELL IN PREPARATION
Preparation is more than packing bags.
This class brings everything full circle — from the earliest signs your body is getting ready, through the transition into active labor, and into the tender, disorienting first days postpartum. It's the practical toolkit that turns everything you've learned in Classes One and Two into something you and your partner can actually use.
You'll learn how to recognize the early signs your body is prepping for labor, how to time contractions with confidence, and a full range of comfort measures — physical, visual, and emotional — to lean on as labor builds. We'll also cover pelvic floor preparation, what to expect in the often-overlooked first 72 hours postpartum, breastfeeding basics, and how to tell the difference between what's normal and what warrants a call to your doctor — for both you and your baby.
