The Bare Necessities
Know it. Do it.
Start with Bare Minimum—the crash course in real labor—then get off the couch and actually practice what you learned.
Birth Practice is where the information becomes muscle memory. You'll work through:
-
Positions and movement
-
Breathing and coping techniques
-
Comfort measures
-
Partner support
-
The physical realities of labor
You'll practice:
-
Working together through contractions
-
Finding positions that feel good
-
Using touch and counterpressure
-
Figuring out what kind of support actually helps when things get intense
Because knowing that hip squeezes exist is one thing.
Knowing how to do them when your partner is having a contraction and looking at you like you have personally offended them? Different skill set.
Bare Necessities gives you both pieces:
-
The information
-
The hands-on practice
-
The confidence to work together when labor gets intense
Come learn what happens. Then come try it.
