A high-risk pregnancy can feel overwhelming - but understanding your path forward is the first step toward reclaiming confidence. This class is designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate labor and birth under complex circumstances. Whether you're facing a chronic condition, pregnancy complication, fetal concern, or a history of complex deliveries, we’ll explore how these factors can shape your birth experience - and how you can prepare for every stage from labor through immediate postpartum period with clarity, strength, and support. 

Taught by high-risk Labor and Delivery nurses, this class offers a safe, supportive space to ask questions, share concerns, and gain practical tools for navigating birth with greater control and confidence. Our goal is to help you feel  prepared, empowered, and informed throughout your birth experience.
