Childbirth Educators

Childbirth classes are helpful for both first-time and experienced parents. In childbirth classes you will learn information from your instructors and the other students, which cannot be learned from a book. A quality childbirth class will emphasize minimal medical intervention, teach coping methods for labor and delivery and help guide new parents in the many decisions they will make before, during and after the birth process. Some classes touch on subjects like diet, breastfeeding, anatomy and massage techniques. For more information about the different childbirth education programs listed here, please visit Lamaze, The Bradley Method or Hypnobirthing.

Chiropractors

Chiropractic care is the health maintenance of the spinal column, discs, related nerves and bone geometry without drugs or surgery. It involves the art and science of adjusting misaligned joints of the body, especially of the spine, to promote health throughout the body. Chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy when provided by a chiropractor that has been trained in the physical changes that occur within a pregnant woman's body. Chiropractors that have been trained to work with pregnant women will use tables that adjust for a pregnant woman's body and they will use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen.

Midwives

Research shows that midwives are the safest birth attendants for most women, with lower infant and maternal mortality rates and fewer invasive interventions such as episiotomies and surgical births (cesareans). In developed countries where midwives are the primary care providers for pregnant women, mortality and surgical birth rates are much lower than in the United States.
