The Healthy Pregnancy Classes are held every month on the third Tuesday at 7:00 pm.  The class meets at Gymboree off Portage Road.  The class is free, but registration is required.  Please call or email Jen or Dawn to register.  The class is designed to introduce you to basic exercises, nutrition and relaxation techniques used to prepare for a natural birth, and how to stay healthy and low risk.  This class will also introduce you to the benefits of the Bradley Method® of Childbirth.  Participants will also receive free handouts, coupons and local resources for a healthy pregnancy and birth.  Husbands or partners are encouraged to attend. 

Birth Partners of Kalamazoo offers Bradley Method® classes on Monday and Thursday evenings, with new sessions starting every 6 weeks.  The classes consist of 12 instructive lessons that cover nutrition, exercise, relaxation techniques, stages of labor, unexpected situations, husband as coach, postpartum care for mom and baby and more.  Please contact us today to schedule your class.
