What Dads have to say about classes


I knew that I wanted to somehow be more involved than the stereotypical guy in the birthing and parenting of our child, but I wasn't at all sure of how I could do so without being a nuisance. I had also been rather disappointed by much of the literature that was directed at fathers-to-be-- it was too comical and not nearly informative enough for what I wanted. Thank goodness signed up for classes with Sue. This class was highly effective in educating me on how I could be genuinely supportive *and* truly useful on the birthday; the class also opened my eyes to a parenting philosophy where the father plays a highly active role. Thanks Sue!

The knowledge HELPED in a huge way by showing and providing a way for me to better love and support my wife through this experience. And by getting me prepared to support and love my son! Being educated and having the foreknowledge of what we were going to go through helped me decide in advance where I stood on many issues so that I could focus on being there for Robyn and Samuel.

The knowledge was priceless during labour. Rhonda, I dont know how I would have managed to help Tonya, had I not known what youd taught us. Thank you!

Your course, enthusiasm, and sincerety has really changed and shaped the way I look at births. You've truly made a difference in my life and allowed me and my wife to have the perfect birth we wanted. Thank you!

I think the biggest thing is that the classes gave me the confidence during pregnancy, labour, and delivery to know what was going on. Without the detailed knowledge I wouldnt have known a placenta from a perineum. In all seriousness, I liked the focus on knowing your options rather than just telling us what was the best think in all instances. So much of pregnancy and birth is dependent on so many factors. Having the information and trust in ourselves gave us the ability to make informed decisions across many areas. For instance, in deciding what food choice we were making during pregnancy we could balance the nutritional requirements against what would realistically work.

I always knew we could have the baby naturally but the course gave Monica the knowledge and confidence as well. The time spent in class helped me as a coach know how to support mom and I got a much better understanding of labour. It really brought us closer and it was nice time spent as a couple before the baby came; preparing us to be parents making decisions about another life that we were going to be responsible for.
