Getting prepared for welcoming your baby needs to be done before you enter the labor room. CBE sessions delivered by certified professionals held in the form of personalized instructions and discussions are targeted towards: 

• Diversifying your knowledge about pregnancy, labor, and childbirth
• Boosting confidence in your pregnancy, and fighting your anxiety around natural delivery
• Creating awareness about methods such as relaxation, breathing techniques, and visualization for coping with contractions
• Educating about medical interventions and complications during pregnancy
• Nurturing your relationship with your partner
• Catering to your fears, anxiety, myths and questions around labor and childbirth
• Answering your concerns about childcare

CBE helps you familiarize yourself with the changes that occur in your body during pregnancy. It also enables you to prepare for labor. One of the most important benefits you get from CBE is, you will get a platform where you can get all your pregnancy-related questions clarified.

Childbirth classes are often recommended in the last trimester of pregnancy but anytime before you go into labor would be helpful. You can take classes earlier in pregnancy if you feel that you need more time to build your confidence and knowledge.
