new friends in the area(which often become life-long friends as you are
all experiencing this overwhelming life-change at the same time and will
probably end up attending ballet classes or soccer practices together as
the babies grow).

labour and birth, which will put into perspective what will be happening
to you during pregnancy and during birth. Fear is a contributory factor towards pain
and being informed will empower you and help to make your birth a
memorable positive experience .

Vaginal Birth as well as Comfort Measures and Coping techniques for
labour, and a variety of Interventions including
