lamaze classes
Prenatal breathing lessons
Lamaze classes are prenatal courses that teach expectant parents breathing techniques and relaxation methods to manage labor pain without medication.
Named after French obstetrician Fernand Lamaze, the classes also cover stages of childbirth, pushing positions, and partner coaching: We signed up for Lamaze classes in the third trimester.
The approach emphasizes natural childbirth and informed decision-making.
