#37: Preparing for Birth Better - What You Need to Know that your Hospital Class Won't Teach You
07/22/24 • 24 min
If you are expecting right now, congrats! Preparing to welcome a baby into the world, especially as a first time mom, can be overwhelming. Most moms will take the prep class the hospital they are delivering at provides. While that is great and recommended, we are going to fill you in on why you ALSO need to complete birth prep with a pelvic floor physical therapist.
If you don't have a quality provider near you, or 1:1 is not within your budget, Dr. Jenn has a virtual birth prep option that will teach you everything you need to work towards the birth experience you are looking for, even if this is not your first!
