We live in a society in which the miracle of birth has been hidden away in the hospital and in some ways mysticized. Therefore we cannot assume that all women are well informed on the processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. We feel that all women should be afforded access to childbirth education, and that one of the most important services offered by BringingUpBaby.Com® is to make sure this access is provided.  .

Childbirth education is a crucial component in helping to promote a positive outcome for the woman and her newborn. Knowledge of the changes brought about by pregnancy can help reduce fear and anxiety and thus stress levels in the body. Knowledge of potential problems can result in timely, lifesaving interventions for the fetus and the mother.  Please note: the information provided here should not be used as a substitute for the medical care and advice of your healthcare provider!
