3 Great Alternatives to Online Lamaze Classes

October 7, 2016 //  by Katie Griffin

If you’re considering a natural birth, chances are you’ve heard of online Lamaze classes.  But you might not realize that there are other options that may provide a better fit for you and your situation.  Here is a list of three great alternatives to online Lamaze classes:

1.  Kopa Birth® Online Childbirth Classes

Check out http://www.kopabirth.com/ if you’re looking for a balanced, realistic approach to natural childbirth.  Kopa Birth® courses prepare mom and partner for a natural hospital birth.  Unlike online Lamaze classes, Kopa Birth® online childbirth classes are completely video-based.  This is a more engaging alternative to pages of text to scroll and read through.  A registered nurse and Lamaze certified childbirth educator developed Kopa Birth® to empower women to give birth in a hospital setting.  The reality is, most women give birth in a hospital but are unfamiliar with standard procedures and possible interventions.  Kopa Birth® equips mom and partner with the knowledge and coping tools needed to have a positive natural birth experience.

2.  The Alexander Technique

If you’re looking for more than just the recognizable brand of online Lamaze classes, The Alexander Technique offers a holistic, full body approach to ease pregnancy and labor pain.  The Alexander Technique differs from online Lamaze classes in that it focuses on improving pregnancy and birth by undoing years of bad posture and movement.  Learning to release tension and move more freely helps mom stay calm and avoid the cycle of fear and pain.  You can access information about the Alexander Technique online through websites such as http://www.alexandertechnique.com/articles/childbirth/ or http://www.alexander.ie/forpregnancy.html

3.  Hypnobabies®

Another alternative to online Lamaze classes is Hypnobabies® Childbirth Hypnosis, found online at https://www.hypnobabies.com.  This is one of a few well-known hypno-style natural childbirth classes.  Instructors teach moms to release fear and decrease labor pain through self-hypnosis and guided imagery techniques.  Hypnobabies® classes are taught by local instructors in 6-week, 3-hour classes.  For couples who are unable to attend a group class, they offer the convenient option of a Self-Study Course which includes a workbook, audio CDs, and hypnosis scripts.

Online Lamaze classes are but one great option when it comes to childbirth preparation.  There are a variety of courses that each offer a unique approach that will appeal to some and not to others.  With your personal learning style in mind, take the time to research and be grateful to live in this great age of information!
