Pregnancy and Birth Classes Now Being Offered in Manchester, NH Suburb
Our classes are not just about the day you have your baby. We also discuss proper nutrition for a healthy pregnancy, common challenges of each trimester, and what to expect during the postpartum period.

LONDONDERRY, NH, January 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Expecting a baby is, for many parents, a time of great excitement, anticipation, and pride. It can also be filled with anxiety, questions, and even a little fear. The mission of Healing Hands Chiropractic's Empowered Birth classes is to ease your fears and anxieties about pregnancy, birth, and parenting; help you find answers to your questions; and give you the opportunity to have a confident, empowering, fulfilling birth experience.
Our classes are based on a philosophy called "woman-centered birth," in which the needs and desires of the laboring mother are the foundation of her perinatal care. Our class material is based on the ALACE childbirth education curriculum, which emphasizes informed decision-making and a holistic approach to childbearing.
Empowered Birth classes are designed for parents desiring to learn more about natural pregnancy and childbirth. We will include unbiased information on medical alternatives such as induction, anesthesia (epidurals), and cesarean birth. The bulk of the material, however, focuses on helping parents achieve a natural birth, whether in a hospital, a birth center, or at home.

What Sets Us Apart
Empowered Birth classes at Healing Hands Chiropractic place labor and birth in the wider context of pregnancy and parenting. Our classes are not just about the day you have your baby. We also discuss proper nutrition for a healthy pregnancy, common challenges of each trimester, and what to expect during the postpartum period. While our classes are open to women at all stages of pregnancy, we suggest that you take class around the midway point (20-30 weeks).
We offer one of the only classes in the greater Manchester and Nashua areas that is not affiliated with a specific hospital. Our independence allows us to work for you, the parent, rather than an institution. While some hospital-sponsored classes may cost a bit less, we believe that parents benefit significantly from the independent nature of our classes.

Class Sessions
Classes meet in two formats: Weekly classes are two hours each, and run for six weeks. The seventh week is a casual question and answer time, where students have the opportunity to speak with new parents as well as holistic health professionals who specialize in prenatal care and/or pediatrics. Weekend sessions, an alternative for those who can't attend during the week, meet two Saturday afternoons for five hours each time.
