What is a Childbirth Educator?
Childbirth educators provide information and training to expectant parents in preparing for labor, birth, and the postpartum period. They may work independently, for a private organization, or for a hospital or maternity care provider.
Childbirth education classes typically include information on late pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, postpartum, and newborn care. Childbirth educators also guide expectant parents in the practice of relaxation, breathing techniques, and comfort measures for labor.
