Independent Childbirth Educators
Scroll down to see a list of independent childbirth educators:
A—B—C—D—E—F—G—H—I—J—K—L—M—N
O—P—Q—R—S—T—U—V—W—X—Y—Z

Childbirth educators offer classes that provide information to expectant parents about the stages of labor and delivery, pain management and relaxation techniques, basic infant care, and in many cases, typical interventions and procedures in the hospital.  Independent childbirth educators are generally not affiliated with a hospital and the information they provide
generally does not center on a particular hospital’s policies and recommendations. 
Many offer a curriculum based on a certain philosophy or approach (See Birth Links). 
It is important to ask a potential childbirth educator questions before enrolling in a
course to ensure a good match between your needs and expectations and their approach
and philosophy.  See Questions to Ask Providers for a comprehensive list.
