Lamaze breathing classes

[99redballoons]

Hi, does anyone know if Lamaze classes are available in the UK? I have looked at their website but can't seem to find us in the list! Am I going blind? Can anyone suggest anything? TIA

I know someone who did this, so - yes - they must be available somewhere. However, I don't know how you'd go about finding out. (The person who did it found it brilliant, though...)

Hi ellbell, thanks for the feedback. I've tried searching on the web, but just find foreign sites...

anyone else?

This is all I can find (from the link you posted). Might be worth contacting this person (even if you are nowhere near) to see if she knows of anyone else.

Forgot to mention that the person I'd heard of (who was in Reading) had stopped doing it by the time I was pg and wanted to find out about it... Not much help, sorry.

thanks for this ellbell

Just bumping this to see if anyone else can suggest something. Only have 2 months to go and am keen to learn the technique.

All,
I have been receiving numerous calls and emails regarding Lamaze recently and am happy to inform all of you that I will be starting Central London's first Lamaze class very soon. I have been Lamaze certified from New York and am planning to hold the class at my apartment in Tower Hill. The class will span a total of 6 sittings, held weekly, for an hour per sitting. I plan to cover all aspects of labor focussing on the following:

1. Signs of true and false labour
2. Labour pain and ways to cope with it
3. Relaxation techniques, breathing awareness, birth ball, acupressure?
4. Care practices to promote normal birth
5. Optimum Foetal positioning and positions for labor and delivery
6. Medical intervention and its effect
7. Baby care and breastfeeding

My goal here is to empower all of you so that you can make informed choices about healthcare, assume full responsibility for your health and trust your inner wisdom as you go through the miracle of childbirth.

I am trying to get together a small group before I begin my first class. Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested or contact me at the numbers below.
