MaaServe - Prenatal and Postnatal Care @ Bangalore

Childbirth education is far more than learning to relax and breathe through contractions. When you understand the birthing process then you are better able to work with your body and not against it.
Apart from providing factual answers to your questions related to pregnancy, birth, baby care and postnatal care we would also teach you various relaxation techniques like yoga, visual imagination, aromatherapy, acupressure, hypnotherapy, postnatal massage, baby massage, etc

Why attend Childbirth Classes?
Expectant parents sometimes wonder why they should bother taking childbirth classes and parenting classes when there are so many excellent books, websites, and videos out there with an abundance of information about childbirth and early parenting. Here are some benefits:

In the Information Age, there are so many sources of information, it’s possible to find out any little detail you want to know with a web search. But within the sea of information, it’s hard to know what information you most need to know. A childbirth education class helps to filter the information, and helps you understand the essentials.
A common tenet in education is that students only remember only 10% of what they read. So, even after reading extensively about birth, you may still have retained limited knowledge. And you may not be able to remember this theoretical knowledge during a labor contraction at 2:00 in the morning! On the other hand, students remember 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, 50% of what they do, 90% of what they say and do. Since most childbirth educators use a mixture of lecture, visual images (posters, videos, etc.), demonstrations, discussions, and practice sessions, all these learning modes will greatly increase your understanding and how much you remember of what you have learned.
During childbirth classes, the instructor will demonstrate comfort techniques such as back massage and relaxation, and you’ll get a chance to practice them, to ask questions, and to get feedback on how you’re doing. During newborn care classes, there may be dolls for practicing diapering, bathing, holding an infant, and positions for breastfeeding. This hands-on learning is important for everyone.
Instructors may be able to offer a wide variety of visual aids, videos, comfort tools, and other materials you otherwise wouldn’t have access to. Watching videos of labor and birth can be an excellent tool for preparing for the experience of labor.
Books and websites may offer outdated information, or information about regional practices which may or may not apply where you will give birth.
Childbirth and parenting classes are a great place to meet other expectant parents, and share experiences. You could socialize and form a group to get peer support during various stages of parenting.
In a class, you will benefit from the instructor’s wisdom gained through experience. Childbirth educators come from a variety of backgrounds. Many are labor and delivery nurses, labor support assistants, trained childbirth educators and/or are mothers themselves. From their experiences with birth, they can offer examples of what labor may feel like, share the lessons they have learned, and offer you personalized answers for any questions or concerns that you may have.
In our busy lives, with so many responsibilities and distractions that pull our attention, it can be difficult to set aside time to think about the upcoming birth, and to plan for life with baby. Signing up for classes means that you have committed a time on your calendar to focus on this preparation.
Most class participants find that attending a childbirth preparation class helps to reduce their fears and concerns as they learn more about what to expect, and thus have less fear of the unknown.
At the end of the session you will feel informed and confident to face any situation during pregnancy and beyond
